What else does Chiropractic do?

Chiropractic is recognized as arguably THE most effective treatment for musculo-skeletal pain. But there is more to it than that.

Virtually every nerve from your ears down to your toe-nails comes from your spinal cord. The nerves exit from the spinal cord through openings between your vertebrae,
the bones of the spine. If one or more of the joints connecting these vertebrae isn't working properly, nerves can be stressed and that can cause secondary problems. Pressure on nerve fibres can create a number of different reactions, ranging from decreased nerve conduction, increased nerve conduction or false messages.

Whichever of these conditions occurs, the end result is that the part of the body to which that nerve goes isn't going to get clear and correct communication from the brain. If the brain can't tell the body what to do, the body isn't going to do it.

Every Chiropractor has a story about a patient who had an organic symptom go away when they had their back adjusted. The number of diseased gall-bladders, for example, that Chiropractic has cured is endless.

How come?

Because the gall-bladder wasn't diseased to start with.

All the symptoms were there. Reflux. Indigestion. Tummy wind. Loose bowel. Local pain.

And then the spine was adjusted and it went away.
While the nerves from the spinal cord to the gall-bladder were under stress, the brain wasn't able to tell the organ what to do. So it didn't do it.
It didn't adapt to changing conditions.
So it gave all the indications of a mal-functioning organ.
But when the nerve stress was removed the gall-bladder went back to doing its proper job, the symptoms went away and the body was freed of an impediment to its efficiency.

Every part of your body can react the same way. If it doesn't get the messages from the brain, it doesn't operate at peak efficiency.

Spinal nerve stress can cause everything from lethargy and fatigue to PMT and migraines.
From bladder frequency to infertility.
From vertigo to calf cramps.

Every sickness condition doesn't come from your spine.

But every condition isn't caused by bacteria or viruses or pollution or environment or emotional stress either.

Regaining health doesn't come out of a bottle or a pill. If your body has a healthy nerve supply from your spinal cord, its nutrition is balanced, and you keep it reasonably fit, it will maintain itself at the peak of its efficiency.

And that's what good general health is all about.
