What is Chiropractic Care and how does it help the human body?
Our Chiropractors hear this question often. In the simplest terms, Chiropractic Care is all about restoring the optimal range of motion in our spine and ensuring that all our joints are in alignment. However, it is much more complex than that explanation.
The human body is made up of 206 bones, out of those 206 bones 33 bones consist to make the human spine. The spine acts like a type of armour that holds and protects the nerves and spinal cord. These nerves extend out from the spinal canals to various muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Additionally, these nerves carry signals that allow you to move without much thought.
Throughout our lives, we tend to sit, stand, and move around in patterns of movement that we don’t think about. As a result, our body begins to compensate to conform to those movements. This can cause aches and pains that can be felt throughout our neck, mid back, low back and other parts of our body.
What Does Chiropractic Care Do?
The goal of Chiropractic Care is to correct those movement patterns and align the spine in its correct position so that optimal posture and balance are met.
Our chiropractors use manual therapy, soft-tissue techniques, and targeted rehabilitation exercises to address the problem you come in with.
