A Brief About the Chiropractic Therapy

In addition to the quality of the air, food and water that you intake, your emotional stress coping mechanisms, your inherited weakness and strengths, use of drugs, exercise, relaxation and various other factors contributing to your health, keeping your spine healthy is absolutely essential. It is a major factor and can make the difference between a life of health, strength and vitality or a life of disease, weakness and disability.

During the chiropractic treatment process, your body will be examined by the chiropractor for vertebral subluxation which is a severe form of spine and nerve stress. Doctors use their hands and other analysis tools to correct them or remove any spinal nerve stress using various spinal adjustment techniques.

It is a hidden epidemic. Mostly everyone eventually suffers from spinal nerve stress, leading to subluxations. Subluxations come from stress and may occur during infancy due to a difficult birth or from accidents during childhood. Emotional tension or stress in later life can gradually damage your spine, or violent injuries from car accidents or sports can suddenly knock you out of your senses.

That is why it is important to have your spines checked for this condition by a chiropractor every occasionally, like a general checkup of eyes and blood pressure.

The first chiropractic patient was treated in 1895. Dr. D.D. Palmer performed chiropractic “spinal adjustment” for the first time on his deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard. Lillard regained his hearing abilities and Palmer thought he had found a cure for deafness.

However, several other patients with menstrual trouble, back pain, digestive troubles, sciatica, migraine headaches, epilepsy, heart problems and many other conditions responded to spinal care. It was then that Dr. Palmer realized that he had discovered something more far-reaching indeed.

Chiropractors spend years of highly specialized training in order to locate where misplaced spinal vertebrae are affecting the nerves which travel down the spinal cord and out through the spinal column to the muscles, organs and glands of the body. 

The chiropractic treatment is basically performed by working with the bones and nerves of the spinal column and spinal cord respectively. After locating the vertebrae that are affecting the nerves (subluxations), the chiropractor can replace the misplaced vertebrae using various highly specialized techniques, therefore releasing the pressure on the nerves. That is called a spinal adjustment.
  • Several health ailments can effectively be treated with chiropractic care, such as:
  • Cold or ear infections
  • PMS
  • Spinal or disc problems
  • Arthritis
  • Insomnia
  • Stress
  • Vision problems
  • Headaches
  • Allergies
  • Bedwetting
  • Colic
  • High blood pressure and much more
The list doesn't just end here. There are books that list over 200 diseases that can be cured using this method. Chiropractic treatment is not just about treatment of the disease but rather the enhancement of health through the reduction of spinal nerve stress (vertebral subluxation complex).

It is a complete healing art within itself that’s concerned with the systems of the body such as nervous, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, eliminatory, reproductive, hormonal and musculoskeletal. The treatment method helps finding a solution to correct health problems within these systems.

Even if you are under medical care, you can receive chiropractic treatments. MDs and other healers usually cannot tell if you are suffering from spinal nerve stress (vertebral subluxations) and they are not trained in correcting it.

You can have your spinal column checked for vertebral subluxations by a chiropractor and still visit a homeopath, naturopath or osteopath. No matter what other type of care or treatment you are receiving, having your spinal nerve stress corrected is essential. Besides proper nutrition, your spinal health is equally important for your overall healing.

There are several other significant factors besides vertebral adjusting in the chiropractic therapy, including five laws to obey for those who desire health and longevity:
  • Proper nutrition
  • Adequate rest
  • Moderate exercise
  • A positive mental attitude
  • Proper nerve supply
