Chiropractic Technique
Chiropractic has been based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, muscle, organ, and system of your body.
While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is protected by 24 moving vertebrae. When these vertebral joints lose their normal motion, they can irritate the nervous system. This disrupts the function of the tissues or organs the nerves they control.
Instead of covering up your symptoms with drugs, chiropractic looks to correct the underlying causes. Chiropractic is the science of locating these areas of spinal joint dysfunction and the art of correcting them.
We here at PHR use a science based system of medicine to diagnose and, through Chiropractic manipulation, treat the fixated joints, especially those of the spinal column, which are held to cause other disorders by affecting the nerves, tissues, muscles, and organs.
In short, because the body's innate healing abilities are affected by and integrated through the nervous system, correcting spinal abnormalities which irritate the nervous system can lead to a number of favourable results in patients suffering from various non-spinal and spinal health conditions.
