What Is Chiropractic Care
What Is Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is the world’s largest non-surgical, non-drug prescribing, primary contact health care profession. It
is a natural approach to health, based on the relationship between your spine and your nervous system. It is very important that your nervous system works properly, because it controls and co-ordinates the function of every single cell, tissue, and organ in your body.
When the bones of your spine are locked in an abnormal position and are interfering with the correct function of your nervous system, the condition is known as “vertebral subluxation”
- Accidents,
- falls,
- stress,
- tension,
- overexertion,
- bad posture and
Countless other factors can result in a displacement of the spinal column, causing irritation to spinal nerve roots. These irritations are often what cause malfunctions in the human body.
Optimal Spine = Optimal Health
The primary focus of chiropractic care is the location, analysis, correction and prevention of vertebral
subluxations. Chiropractors correct subluxations with gentle spinal adjustments performed by hand or by specialised instruments. These specific corrective procedures help realign the body, thus promoting proper nervous system function and contributing to optimal health.
The adjustment techniques used at Chávez Chiropractic are among the most gentle, safe, and effective techniques. We are constantly attending seminars all around the world to keep us up to date with the latest techniques and procedures. Our patients range from newborns, athletes, to the elderly.
