Many people
associate chiropractic with lower back problems. Although chiropractors
do treat lower back injuries, it is certainly not the only part of the
body that will be treated. Chiropractic deals with the relationship between
the nervous system and the function (health) of your entire body.
Your nervous
system (which is your brain, spinal cord, and all of your nerves) controls
the function of everything in your body. Because of the way your
spine is designed, your nerves can be irritated or choked by improper
motion of the bones. This pressure may cause pain, numbness, or tingling.
If you ignore your body's symptoms, you are likely to cause more problems
by compensating for the original injury.
Listen to
your body! Those signals are telling you something is wrong. Your pain
is not caused by lack of aspirin or drugs. Chiropractic works by dealing
with the cause of the pain rather than simply treating the symptoms. If
your house were on fire, would you call the fire department or stop the
signal by pulling the battery out of your smoke detector?
Chiropractic
is safe. It's natural. Most importantly, it works!
