What is Chiropractic and How Does It Work?
In short, chiropractic is the science that treats neuro-musculoskeletal discomforts such as chronic headaches and migraines, general back pain, arthritis, osteoarthritis, sciatica, herniated discs, etc., focusing on the structure and function of the spine.
Chiropractic is based on the principle that pain is the direct result of misdirected nerve impulses, “short-circuited” by a vertebral displacement.
Thus, if the nervous system—which is, in a way, the “electrical system” of the human body—is disrupted, there is a high risk of developing a variety of discomforts and problems.
Since the spine and the nervous system are interdependent and inseparable—just as your teeth and gums are—the malfunction of one will inevitably affect the function of the other. For example, if a patient has a vertebral displacement in the cervical region, it is not uncommon to observe symptoms as varied as headaches, blurred vision, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and more.
