Common Questions About Chiropractic Answered!
Dear Practice Members and Friends,
Today we’re going to revisit some common questions about chiropractic, and if you know someone who could benefit from this information, please send them to this blog!
Do I have a slipped disc?
Between each pair of spinal bones is a disc. It’s fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. This soft cernter serves as a “ball bearing” for joint movement. Because of the way it attaches to the spinal bone above and below it, a disc can’t acutally “slip.” However, a disc can bulge. It can tear. It can herniate. It can think adn it can dry out. And it can collapse. But it can’t slip.
What is a subluxation?
Chiropractic works because you are a self-healing, self-regulating organism controlled by your nervous system. Millions of instructions flow from your brain, down the spinal cord and out to every organ and tissue. Signals sent back to the brain confirm if your body is working right. Improper motion or position of the moving bones of the spine, can interfere with this vital exchange of information. This is a subluxation and this is what chiropractors adjust to correct. When this information is interfered with, the organs and tissues can become compromised.
How do you get subluxations?
There are three basic causes of subluxations. Physical causes include slips and falls, accidents, repetitive motions and improper lifting. Emotions such as grief, anger, and fear cause subluxations. Chemical causes include alcohol, drugs, pollution and poor diet.
I hope this is helpful and in the next blog post, we’ll go over some other very common questions about chiropractic. See you soon and don’t forget about Dinner with the Doc coming up! July 27th, call the office for details!
Sincerely,
Dr. Vince
