Chiropractic care is fundamentally based on the idea that the nervous system controls every cell and organ in the body.
Nervous System
When vertebrae in the spine become misaligned, it can put pressure on the nerves coming out of the spinal cord.
This can cause pain and interfere with the signals sent by the brain to various parts of the body and vice versa.
Adjusting the spine to correct these subluxations helps improve nerve conductivity and supports your body’s functions.
Muscles and Soft Tissue
Muscle function is closely linked to the nervous system.
Nerves control the contraction and relaxation of muscles, allowing you to move and perform virtually all bodily functions.
If a nerve is compressed or irritated by a misaligned vertebra, it can cause muscle tension, spasms, or weakness. It can also lead to other symptoms like pain or numbness radiating down an arm or leg.
Chiropractic care aims to create a domino effect of improved function and relief throughout the body by aligning the spine, optimising nerve flow and offering a holistic approach to health and wellness.
