WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractors work with and enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself without drugs or surgery.  Like all professional health care practitioners, Chiropractors follow definite protocols to gain the information to provide you with the best care.  They will take your health history and conduct physical, orthopedic and neurological examinations and may order x-rays.

 We know that the nervous system controls the functions of every tissue, organ and system in the body.  Chiropractic concerns itself with the relationship between structure (primarily of the spine) and function (primarily coordinated by the nervous system) of the human body, and how that relationship affects the restoration and preservation of health.

When that relationship is compromised by a spinal bone interfering with the nervous system (a vertebral subluxation), your Chiropractor will deliver a spinal adjustment (a specific, precise, corrective force to the offending spinal segment).  This correction permits normal nerve transmission, enabling the body’s innate recuperative power to begin the healing process.  A subluxation resulting in a “pinched nerve”, has been proven to interfere with the nerve transmission to various organs and tissues of the body, and may be the cause of many health problems.

 It is said that the body needs no help in looking after itself, just no interference.  Your pain or health problem may be caused by a nerve blockage by a subluxation.  Make sure your nerve channels are clear by having Dr. Susan Falk check you at Shelley Chiropractic.
