Chiropractic Theory

Physical, emotional and chemical factors can cause injuries to your spine and dysfunctional patterns called Subluxations to occur. A Chiropractic Subluxation consists of a collection of elements that are controlled by the nervous system; they create a dysfunctional pattern and nerve irritation which diminishes nerve function.
These can be described as subconscious bad habits or muscle memories that are controlled by the nervous system.

The nervous system is the mediator of health and vitality to all the tissues, muscles and organs. Alterations in nervous system function can alter the functionality of motor responses (muscle contraction and function), reflexes, pain reception, and touch sensation reception.

Chiropractic Adjustments/Manipulations stimulate the nerve receptors and cause an alteration in the flow of sensory nerve information or nerve signals into the spinal cord and from there to the brain. The brain corrects the dysfunction and natural healing can occur!

Adjustments can alter the dysfunctional sensory information and induce a completely new sensory input. This corrects Subluxations!
