Dr. Christina Baran Gray, a Wilmington chiropractor, sheds light on how chiropractic gets sick people well. Many think chiropractors deal only with low back pain, but we work with the nervous system. Every organ in the body functions only if the nervous system is intact. If the nervous system is interrupted, this results in a 'subluxation', or 'pinched nerves'. With spinal adjustments, pressure is taken off the nerves, pain is relieved, and the body functions properly.
Chiropractors adjust the spine, with the goal of taking pressure off the nerves.
Chiropractic adjustments help people with backaches, headaches, asthma, gastric disturbances, and many other ailments. The body is in constant breakdown repair. When symptoms finally arise, this is a sign of breakdown. The repair process must remain strong. When stress in your life causes breakdown, you get sick.
