Chiropractic Wellness
Chiropractic originated in 1895 and is based upon the law
of biology that states; inborn into all living things is
the ability to be well. Chiropractic draws on the fact of
physiology that the nervous system (consisting of the brain,
spinal cord, peripheral nerves and special sensory organs)
controls and co-ordinates all other organs and structures
in the body and relates the person to their environment.
Removing interference to this master control system allows
the body to heal itself and gives the optimum conditions
for life and health.
Your nervous system controls and co-ordinates all the functions
of your body. If you interfere with the signals traveling
over nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper
nerve messages and will not be able to function at 100%
of your innate ability. In other words, some part of your
body will not be working properly. This state is known as
subluxation.
It is the responsibility of the Doctor of Chiropractic
to locate subluxations, and reduce or correct them. This
is done through a series of gentle and safe chiropractic
adjustments specifically designed to correct the vertebral
subluxations in your spine. Chiropractors are the only professionals
who undergo years of training to be the experts at correcting
subluxations.
Chiropractors advise on a holistic approach to health.
This approach looks at the different stresses, be they Physical,
Emotional or Chemical that could be causing dys-function
or a lack of harmony in the body.
By correcting the effects of stress and reducing their
frequency & intensity the body can start to heal naturally
and function better.
UCA chiropractors will often be able to discuss your concerns
& / or questions regarding spinal health, healthy eating,
exercise and positive mental states.
Your health
What does good health mean to you?
Absence of pain? More energy? Being fit?
The world health organization defines health as
“a complete state of physical, mental and social
wellbeing, not merely the absence of disease of infirmity”
In other words health is multifaceted. The absence of
pain, disease or strength does not constitute good health.
Good health is defined as optimal or complete.
As your nervous system is the master controller of the
body, chiropractors are interested in restoring normal function
to your body, allowing a state of wellness to exist.
For more information on how chiropractic can help your
desire to attain optimum health and wellbeing simply call
your local
UCA chiropractor.
