Taking A Natural Systemic Approach To
Healing
Chiropractic is an overall way of looking at the human body. It's
based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and
self-healing. The body is in essence completely controlled by the
brain through its connection via the spinal cord and the vast
networks of nerves that make up the body. When this system is not
functioning at its peak, the overall performance of the human body
is lacking.
In the chiropractic world, drugs and medicine are not utilized as a
form of treating a patient. While supplementation and nutrition are
almost always a part of the bigger picture, drugs and prescriptions
can be viewed as band-aids to treat symptoms rather than going to
the source and treating the real problem.
While it's often perceived that the chiropractor is solely here to treat back and neck pain, this is simply a small piece of what the profession really is capable of handling. Chiropractors not only treat soft and hard tissue problems such as sciatica and joint pain, but are largely called on to deal with more significant issues. Some of these issues include fibromyalgia, allergies, insomnia, headaches and many more.
