Why chiropractic is different?

 

The modern doctor of Chiropractic works both directly and indirectly with the nerves, because every function of your entire body is under control of the nervous system.

Every organ, tissue, and cell is controlled by neurological impulses travelling from the brain to every part of the body. Nerves make it possible for sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Nerves maintain your balance and keep your body temperature at 37.6 degrees. Nerves control your liver, your lungs, your spleen, your pancreas, your gallbladder, and kidneys, and all other organs. In fact, the nervous system is the master system that controls all other systems of the entire body, including the glandular, reproductive, digestive, elimination, respiratory, and circulatory. Complete perfect natural health comes only when you have a complete, perfect, natural, normal-functioning nervous system.

For a doctor of Chiropractic, the avenue of approach is the spine because it houses and protects the spinal cord - the switchboard of the nervous system through which nerves pass from the brain to different parts of the body. The nerves leave the spine through openings between movable spinal bones called vertebrae. When these vertebrae move out of alignment, there can be interference with the normal activities of the nerve. This interference can disturb function throughout the body and cause many diseases.
