Why Does Chiropractic Work So Well?

When you think of alternative medicine, Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Homeopathy and Naturopathy probably come to mind first. What makes these specialties alternative to allopathic medicine? What makes chiropractic “alternative” and why does it work so well? Chiropractic is less of an alternative, implying it is good in the place of something else, and more of something completely different!

Chiropractors are the only professionals in the world trained specifically to identify and correct vertebral subluxation. Vertebral subluxation is a misalignment of the spine that puts pressure on nerves. There are over 120 joints in the spine and 31 pairs of spinal nerves! When nerves are compressed, they don’t work properly. When they don’t work properly, your body doesn’t work properly.

Chiropractic is based on the power of the brain to heal, regulate and control the body. Chiropractors understand that without clean nerve signals, the body’s inborn capacity to heal and regulate itself is diminished. Diminished healing and control lead to faster breakdown and chronic problems. The brain controls everything from your big toe to large intestines to your liver enzyme production. In fact, your brain is sending and receiving millions of signals every second.

Have you ever noticed that your body does some pretty amazing things. Making heart cells out of the food you eat, controlling all of the chemicals in your body perfectly all the time, knowing exactly when you need to increase your heart rate to run down the street and similar functions. Did you know that the pharmacy at Rite Aid is filled with drugs designed to replace or modify chemicals you already have in your body in perfect amounts under normal circumstances? Our body comes equipped! Poor brain control alters your body’s ability to optimally control our body chemistry and other functions that keep you healthy. Those nerves control everything!

Chiropractic removes nerve interference that diminishes control from the brain. Chiropractic maximizes your body’s ability to run perfectly! When it runs optimally your body is less vulnerable to illness, injury and dysfunction. Why does chiropractic work so well? Because your body has an innate intelligence, it knows what to do and needs no help, just no interference to nerve communication. It works so well because there is no pharmacy in the world that is more perfect than yours under optimal nerve control. Those nerves control everything!
