The most difficult thing to do on many complicated subjects is to explain them in simple language. The health field is over crowded with "experts" of every kind and give advice from aromas, colors, nutrition, supplements, exercise and medicines. There are probably some real and many perceived values in each of them, including the powerful placebo effect.
Chiropractic is the simplest, most direct and logical approach to health by positioning the body to be in the best receptive condition to use all these external aids and necessities to promote and maintain health. Any amount or type of external applications are only as effective as the body's ability to use them. If all the systems of the body are functioning to the best of their intended purpose, that body will enjoy its maximum potential health. That is chiropractic's goal.
How does Chiropractic do that? Modern technology mimics the human brain and nervous system, even in its failures. If any component fails, all functions related to that component will fail or malfunction. In the body, even low grade interference between the brain and body systems, over time, will degrade the function and integrity of the parts supplied. Keeping those communications "open" allows optimum conditions for healthy functioning now and for a longer period of time. The question remains, "How does Chiropractic do that?
The many causes for abnormal nerve function run from defects, injury, inflammation, infection, toxins and poor nutrition. Each is capable of either obliterating or distorting the signals from the brain. In examining the pathways of the nerves, we look for sites where they become most vulnerable to external, physical causes which can influence nerve function.
The skull protects our brain and the bony spinal column protects our spinal cord which contains all the nerve fibers leaving the brain, except for the cranial nerves. In descending through the column, nerves exit the bony column, between pairs of bones (vertebrae), at the level of structures those nerves supply. It is this exit point where nerves are susceptible to acute or chronic irritation by compression, stretching and inflammation caused by the irritation. For a variety of reasons, the exit opening which accommodates the nerves is distorted and becomes fixed in an abnormal position and motion, or lack of motion, and the nerves are compromised (subluxation), In most cases, the muscle spasms associated with or without back pain are a reaction to immobilize the part (splinting action) rather than a cause of the pain.
Identifying and correcting these immobile, subluxated sites is called an "adjustment". Restoring and maintaining the mobility of these restores normal nerve function, by normalizing the size and shape of the nerve exit, allowing natural processes to be reestablished.
