Get back to the basics, back to your roots

According to The Association of Chiropractic Colleges, "Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs and surgery." The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

Let's get back to basics, back to our roots! Everything in the body is controlled by nerves, not just the muscles, but the organs, glands and cellular tissues. The nerves trace back to the spinal cord, which runs from the brain stem, down to your sacrum and coccyx, or "butt-bone". It is encased in vertebra of the spinal column, the cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebra. These vertebra's are separated and cushioned by discs, which make several joint spaces that should always have good motion. When there is pressure on the nerve root at the spinal level, there is interference to the nerve flow.

When this subluxation occurs, or misalignment of the spine, wouldn't it stand to reason that where ever the nerve is going, the end spot would not work efficiently?! Chiropractic, through spinal and extremity adjustments, removes the interference on the nerve and allows it to flow at its 100%; allowing the body to function at its 100%! Think of the signs and symptoms that people live with on a daily basis, such as neck and back pain, headache/migraines, sinus/allergies/asthma, upset stomach/heart burn, constipation/diarrhea, sleep disturbances, weight gain, emotional sensitivities, hip, knee, feet pain. The list goes on and on. Think about if the nerve flow to these specific organs, or glands that control hormonal releases, or cortisol/insulin releases, was at 100%, wouldn't the result be better performance?  Now, there are other factors involved in the dysfunction of the body, but if the basic nerve interference is removed first, then persisting signs and/or symptoms can be dealt with accordingly.

As chiropractic adjustments are performed, and the body is becoming stronger and more able to stay in alignment, the other factors should be discussed, as in body chemistries, nutrition and daily activities of living such as work, play and sleep. The body as a whole must be evaluated and treated as a complete entity, not just the specific signs and symptoms. It is important to have regular spinal check-ups, just as regular dental check-ups are recommended. Pain, signs and symptoms are warning signs to the body that there is something going on and they usually emerge after the body has been compensating on its own for some time.

Allow the body, your body, to function without interference, allow the body to function at its 100%, and see a chiropractor for an evaluation. At LA SALUD ESTA DENTRO DE TI we like to think we make a difference, we don´t take care of a 1000 patiences a year, we only take care of a few 500 on yearly bases, but we do make a diffrence on their lifes as on their family as well; we don´t pretend to be the number one, our patiences are.
