What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a holistic approach to care that uses natural, non-surgical methods to promote better health. While chiropractic is probably best known as a treatment method that uses adjustments to realign your spine, there's far more to chiropractic care than spinal realignment.

Corrective Chiropractic Care is based on the scientific fact that your nervous system controls the function of every, cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves in the body. In essence, Chiropractic is a practice that concerns itself with the relationship between the nervous system and the function (health) of your body.

While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable. The information superhighway of our bodies passes through channels of 24 moving bones called vertebra. If injury, poor posture, or loss of muscle strength causes these bones to deviate from their optimal positioning, they can put pressure on nerves in the area, irritating the nervous system. Depending on where along the spine this irritation occurs, corresponding areas of the body that are fed by these nerves will experience impairment of communication with the brain. Over time this impairment can disrupt your body's natural regulation and healing mechanisms in the affected areas.

Some of the many conditions that chiropractic can treat include:

• Joint pain

• Neck pain

• Auto injuries

• Scoliosis

• Back pain

• Headaches

• Sinus infection

• Arthritis

• Chronic pain conditions

• Sciatica

The team at Total Health Solutions has expert knowledge of the interaction between your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the function of systems and organs in your body down to the cellular level.

Why does chiropractic focus on the spine?

Chiropractic begins with your spine as it’s so often the root cause of health problems. Your spinal cord is your body's information superhighway. Like the fuse panel in your house, it carries messages (electrical impulses) from your brain to every other part of your body and relays messages from your peripheral nerves back to your brain.

The spinal cord goes through your spinal canal, a tunnel formed by the vertebrae that make up your spine. Poor posture, injury, or loss of muscle strength can affect the alignment of your vertebrae, which puts pressure on the nerves in and around your spine and the spinal cord itself.

The result is poor communication between the affected nerves and your brain, resulting in pain, loss of function, and impaired healing.

Chiropractors call these misalignments in your spine vertebral subluxations. Subluxations are a primary cause of health issues such as heart and respiratory problems, migraines, asthma, and many organ-related disorders, as well as neck and back pain. Chiropractic can help reduce existing subluxations and relieve your symptoms.

What are the benefits of chiropractic?

Chiropractic treatment is the most effective way to:

• Correct subluxations

• Reduce nerve and soft tissue irritation

• Restore communication between nerves and brain

• Encourage your body to heal naturally

• Prevent further damage

• Develop healthy habits

The Total Health Solutions team analyzes five key areas of your body: your bones, muscles, other soft tissues, nerves, and chemical makeup. This enables them to carry out corrective care while being very specific in the adjustments they make.

They use state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging to examine the cause of your symptoms in detail before treatment. They also combine expert chiropractic treatment and promote better all-around health through nutrition and exercise programs.
