The
modern Doctor of Chiropractic works both directly and indirectly
with the body’s nerves because every function of your entire body
is under the control of the nerve system. Every organ, tissue, and
cell is controlled by nerve impulses traveling from the brain to
each part of the body.
Nerves make possible all movement. Nerves transmit all
sensations
to the brain. Nerves make possible all sight, smell,
taste,
touch, and hearing. Nerves maintain your balance and
keep
your body temperature at 98.6 degrees. Nerves make it
possible
to swallow. Nerves make your bowels move. Nerves
control
you liver, lungs, spleen, pancreas, gall bladder, and
kidney.
In fact, the nerve system is the master system which
controls
all the body’s many systems and functions.
Complete, perfect, natural health comes only when you
have
a complete, perfect, natural, normally functioning
nerve
system. The present-day Doctor of Chiropractic has
had
six or more years of college education, has been fully
licensed
after rigid examinations, and has had extensive
clinical
experience with the nerve system and how to care
for
it without drugs or surgery.
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.
For the Doctor of Chiropractic, the “avenue of approach” is primarily
the SPINE because it houses and protects the spinal cord, the “switchboard”
of the nerve system, through which nerves pass from the brain to
different parts of the body. The nerves leave the spinal bones called
vertebrae. When these vertebrae move out of alignment there may
be interference with the normal activity of the nerves. The interference
can disturb function throughout the body and cause many illnesses.
Most conditions of ill health are the result of some underlying
cause within the body which must be found first before correction
can be effected, pain relieved, and health restored and maintained.
Chiropractic has developed special techniques for locating and correcting
spinal misalignments in the organs, tissues, and cells of the body.
At The Chiropractic Centre, we can assist you, your family and your
friends to achieve real results using natural, drug free treatments.
