Guide To Chiropractic Wellness |
| Chiropractic health care is a branch of the healing arts
based on the scientific fact that our nervous system controls or influences the
function of every cell in our body. Interference to the nervous system (caused
by the vertebral subluxation complex) will effect how the nervous system
relates to the cells to which it travels.
|
| The term “Chiropractic” comes from the Greek words “cheiro
and praktikos” meaning “done by hand”. The Chiropractic model of health is
centered on the philosophy that the human body, being knit together in a
wonderful way, will heal itself given the right opportunity and circumstances.
Doctors of Chiropractic (DC’s) essentially promote the healing process by
minimizing nerve interference.
|
| The purpose of the Chiropractic approach to health care (the
wellness model) is to uncover the cause of your health condition, not merely
cover up your symptoms. The absence of symptoms (pain) does not equal good
health! The clearest way to illustrate this is by reviewing the statistics on
heart attacks. Research reveals that in approximately 33% of all heart attacks
the first symptom of the attack is death!
