Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism. These important functions are controlled by the brain, spinal cord and all of the nerves in the body. When your spine is misaligned it can irritate your nervous system resulting in overall disharmony or malfunction throughout your body. Chiropractic is the science of locating malfunctioning spinal structures; the art of reducing their impact to the nervous system and the philosophy that, when working properly, the body has the potential to heal itself. Your body is your best healer! Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn ability to be healthy. When under the proper control of your nervous system, all of the cells, tissue and organs of your body are designed to resist disease. The chiropractic approach to better health is to locate and help remove interferences to your natural state of being healthy.
Take our quiz and find out if your spine is as healthy as it can be.
1 ) Do the heels on your shoes wear out unevenly?
This can be due to uneven leg lengths or stress throughout the spine.
2 ) Are you unable to turn your head or hips to either side easily and equally?
Reduced range of motion indicates joint misalignment.
3 ) Do you need to ‘crack’ your neck, back or other joints a lot?
This need to ‘crack’ may be caused by areas of your spine that are misaligned and unstable.
4 ) Does your foot flare out when you are walking?
Foot flare may be a sign of problems in your lower spine, hips, ankles or upper neck.
5 ) Are you often fatigued?
An unbalanced spine will unbalance your nervous system causing your energy to decrease.
6 ) Do you have headaches, backaches, sore muscles or joints?
These are common signs of spinal misalignments.
7 ) Do you have a low resistance to disease?
Spinal misalignments affect your neuroendocrine system, which plays an important role in your resistance to disease and ability to fight infection.
8 ) Look in a mirror: do your ears and shoulders line up straight with each other?
If they do not, that is a sign that your spine, hips or head could be off center.
9 ) Stand on two bathroom scales. The weight should be about the same on each foot. Is the weight distribution about the same?
If it is not it could be causing abnormal wear on you spine, which in time will age your spine faster.
