The confusing part about being a human is really trying to understand how our bodies really work. The funny thing is … we invest more time and energy in figuring out how to make our cars work and make sure they don’t have a problem and that we can rely on them at any time.
I guess a good question I always ask patients is , “why do we take better care of our cars than we do our bodies?”.
I think part of the answer to that is we really just DON”T understand how the human body really works.
To explain how Chiropractic can help you…let me explain one the most important parts of how your body works.
Your brain is connected to your body thru your Nervous System. This is your spine and all the nerves that travel to the different parts of your body. They travel to your hands and legs but they are also the same nerves that help control your heart and your liver.
As a Chiropractor we are trained to find out if there is any irritation to the nerves of your spine by a misalignment of the bones of your spine. If anything is out of alignment, by even just a little bit…it can begin to irritate the nerves of your body. Depending on where that nerve travels you can end of with neck pain or if you ignore it for a long time you may end up with arm pain or numbness.
As a Chiropractor we are specialized in finding the irritation to those nerves and fixing it. This way your body can begin to heal.
If you want to find our if there is any misalignment with your spine, just call our office and we can do a check up to find out.
There are three parts to the check up.
1. We use a machine that measures your weight on one side of your body compared to the other. We also measure your posture and add all these numbers up.
2. We use a computer to print out a graph that measures the irritation to your muscles on either side of your body.
3. We feel your spine and determine if there are any tenderness and add this information together with #1 and #2.
It’s worth a try to find out if your body can work better than it is right now…think about it, when was the last time your had your oil checked in your car? Now isn’t it time to check your body?
