The method in which the practitioner carefully locates and removes spine and/or nerve stress is termed chiropractic. A vertebral subluxation is, in the most basic terms, anything that puts pressure on the spinal nervous system that ultimately brings the body out of balance and lowers ones innate ability to adapt to the environment.
The Doctor of Chiropractic analyzes your body for vertebral subluxations using his/her hands; and then corrects or removes spinal nerve stress by performing specific and controlled adjusting techniques to each subluxation. Chemical, emotional, or physical forms of stress can all affect the nervous system. Anything from a difficult birth, a stressful work environment or even the most minor accident can be the catalysts to nervous system stress. The bones in the spine, also known as vertebra, move in 14 different directions and have the potential to compress up to 300 thousand nerves at any given time. Ensuring proper motion in the vertebral joints is key to keeping the body functioning optimally.
