Chiropractic practice

 

Doctors who practice chiropractic are called doctors of chiropractic or chiropractors. They do not prescribe drugs or perform surgical procedures. The field came by due to the belief that the body has the ability to heal itself. The body requires the correct environment to be able to heal itself. It is therefore the responsibility of the chiropractor to create the environment required by the body to heal itself.

 

The central nervous system controls all activities in the body. Chiropractors manipulate this system in order to heal health conditions.

 

Vertebral subluxation

 

Vertebral subluxation is one of the most effective chiropractic techniques. It involves manually compressing spinal joints and nerves. When the nerves and joints are restored to their original position the body organ resumes its functions. This technique is based on the fact that most organs are controlled by nerves. If these nerves are not functioning properly, then the organs will not function as well.

 

Chiropractic adjustments

 

Chiropractors treat diseases by adjusting the nervous system. There are many conditions that may require chiropractic adjustments. These include;

 

• Misalignment of vertebra. Misalignment is caused by a fall or slip. These are referred to as micro-trauma.

• Misalignment of the whole spine. This is mainly caused by poor posture.

• Swelling of joints.

• General body irritations and inflammations.

• Osteoporosis. This refers to the degenerative alterations that occur in the spine.

 

Posture and chiropractic care

 

Chiropractors insist on the importance of posture. Poor posture is the main reason for back pains and neck pains. Poor posture can also result in misalignment of the spine. Technological gadgets such as smartphones and laptops are the major cause of poor posture. Millions of people sit all day glued to the screens of these gadgets. The leaning posture these gadgets force is not healthy at all. Chiropractors call this posture the forward head posture.

 

Research shows that, the neck bears stress equivalent to 10 pounds for every inch the head moves outside of its center of gravity. This makes the danger the forward head posture poses to be crystal clear.

 

Chiropractors evaluate posture problems. Spinal manipulation relieves the discomfort poor posture leaves in the neck regions. Chiropractors recommend that people should not stay in one posture for long hours.
