Chiropractic is a method of natural healing that is known throughout the world. Chiropractic is derived from the words “cherios” (hand) and “practos” (done by). Together it means, “done by hand”. According to chiropractic, our body has the ability to heal itself. On the condition, the nervous system is functioning optimally. A disturbance in the nervous system deprives our body of the body to keep itself healthy.
The spine protects the spinal cord, which together with the brain form the central nervous system. The nervous system controls every process and function in the body. The way it works is similar to a telephone switchboard. If there is interference in the connection, the message won’t get through or it will be distorted. In the body the same thing happens. When nerves can’t pass a message correctly, it can have negative consequences anywhere in the body. For example: the functioning of the joints, vital organs or muscles.
The chiropractor is a specialist in the stabilising the spinal cord and correcting interference in the nervous system. If all the nerves are able to pass the messages correctly, the brain can react better to the needs of the body. All the hormones and chemicals that are needed for a healthy life will be prescribed by the brain and be produced in the body. The body has its own natural internal pharmacy.
For people who have physical complaints, chiropractic is a way to restore the nervous system so the body can heal itself.
For healthy people, chiropractic is a preventative, regular check-up. And to be sure that changes in the nervous system can be corrected at an early stage.
When the body reacts to the adjustment and heals, the stress disappears from the body and the natural resistance is restored.
