IN
THE PAST, PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT YOU SHOULD ONLY GO TO THE DENTIST WHEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. AS WITH DENTISTRY, TRUE
PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE IS BASED ON SOUND PRINCIPLES OF SCIENCE, AND REGULAR CHECK UPS THAT EVERY HUMAN BODY NEEDS! The science of Chiropractic is based on the fact that good health is the result of the unhindered function
of your nerves and nervous system. Every function of your body is under the control of your brain and nervous system. Electrical
impulses from your brain are sent through the nervous system to control or affect every organ, tissue and cell within your
body. Your nervous system is also used to send information back to your brain about your body's condition, sensory system
and activities. These impulses through your nerves enable you to see, smell, touch, hear, maintain balance and regulate your
body's temperature. In fact, your nervous sytem is the master system which controls all other parts of your body, including
the glandular, reproductive, digestive, eliminative, respiratory, and circulatory sytems. Every science of healing has what
is known as an avenue of approach. For example, in the field of medicine, a hypodermic needle injects drugs through the skin;
a pill is swallowed and goes into the stomach. They are the avenues through which the drugs gain access to the body. In the field of Chiropractic, the avenue of approach is your spine. Your spine contains and protects your
spinal cord, which is the switchboard of your nervous system through which signals pass to and from your brain to different
parts of your body. For every symptom there is a cause. If you are ill, then the condition of pain, regardless of the name
applied to it, is a symptom for which there must have been a cause. The nerves leave your spinal cord through openings between
movable spinal bones called vertebrae. When your vertebrae become misaligned, through injury or posture problems, they interfere
with the normal function of your nerves. This misalignment is called a subluxation and it causes your nervous system to malfunction.
The pinching action of the subluxation on your nerve can cause pain, impairment, or reduction or loss of a body function.
the subluxation then becomes the cause of the problem.
