When the average person thinks about visiting a chiropractor, they often think about one thing; back pain. Although chiropractic treatment is an excellent treatment for back pain, it offers many other advantages as well. Chiropractic’s amazing health benefits not only help your ‘back’ but can also help you live a longer, fuller life.
This is easy to understand if you know a little about how the body works.
Let’s begin with one basic tenet; the human body has the innate ability to heal itself. Therefore, if there’s no interference with its normal function, the human body can heal itself of problems, injuries and disease.
It’s this remarkable ability that has helped our species survive and adapt for more than 200,000 years.
This innate ability is also at the core of chiropractic treatment. When the body has no interference it can and will heal itself.
What do we mean by interference? In the chiropractic world, the major causes of interference are vertebral misalignments.
This is what happens when two (or more) of the spinal vertebrae are out of place. A misalignment causes pressure on the delicate spinal nerves that connect the brain to the body. This pressure, like a clog in a vacuum hose, prevents the brain’s critical messages from reaching the body. In turn, this can inhibit the body’s healing capacity.
