Chiropractic: An Effective and Noninvasive Treatment for Acute and Chronic Pain

Chiropractic care is a way of diagnosing and treating illnesses that have an effect on the nerves, muscles, bones as well as joints of the body. Based on the principle that several diseases are affected by abnormal nerve transmission, or "subluxation" made by a misalignment of the spine. The nerves leave the spinal cord through openings in between movable spinal bones called vertebrae. If vertebrae, through injury or posture problems, become misaligned they obstruct with normal function of the nerves. This misalignment causes pain and malfunction of the nervous system. The subluxation then becomes the cause of pain.

The modern Chiropractor works both the directly and indirectly with the nervous system. Every functionality of the body is within the control of this system. Every organ, tissue and cell is controlled by nerve impulses traveling from the brain to all areas of the body. Nerves enable all movement. Nerves transmit all sensations to the brain. Nerves make possible all sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing.
