CHIROPRACTIC AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
The nervous system is the first system of the body to develop, coordinating every organ, muscle, gland and cell so that each can function in perfect harmony. The brain constantly receives information from the external and internal world, and thanks to the functioning of the nervous system, it can respond appropriately to the needs of the moment by sending information back to the body. This process leads to a constant optimal adaptation of the body, commonly called health.
The Central Nervous System (CNS) comprising the brain and spinal cord is the only organ in the body that is completely protected by a layer of bone: the skull (protecting the brain) and the spinal column (protecting the spinal cord).
We can imagine the spinal cord as the highway that transports all the information from the body to the brain and vice versa, being an essential element for the correct functioning of the nervous system.
WHY THE NERVOUS SYSTEM NEEDS CHIROPRACTIC
Chiropractors are the only professionals trained to analyze, detect and correct vertebral subluxations through specific, safe and painless manual adjustments. The biggest problem that prevents your body from doing a good job is the lack of communication between your body and your brain due to subluxations.
With chiropractic adjustments we reconnect the brain and the body by increasing its adaptive capacity which allows it to function the way it was designed to.
SUBLUXATIONS
Our body constantly adapts to various types of stress on a daily basis to keep us in an optimal state.
There are 3 main types of stress in which we are confronted:
When the amount of stress exceeds the body’s capacity to adapt, in order not to burn the whole organism, one or more vertebrae subluxate, as if a fuse were blowing.
Vertebral subluxation is the displacement of one or more vertebrae from their natural position, carrying altered information or reducing the communication flow of nerves. It is a very correct survival maneuver to stay alive, but not ideal to live in well-being.
In the vast majority of cases, subluxations are painless and do not present discomfort or symptoms in themselves, but their implication on the nervous system and health is crucial.
