Instead, chiropractic results are produced by adhering to scientifically confirmed facts. The nervous system controls every cell of your body. Nerve impulses flow from the brain, down the spinal cord, and to every organ and tissue. Impulses sent back to the brain confirm that the body is working as it should. The moving bones of the spine can interfere with this exchange by irritating adjacent nerves.
Ill health can result from distorted or compromised nervous system control of the body.
Chiropractic care helps restore the integrity of the nervous system by reducing interferences caused by the spine. How long you decide to benefit from chiropractic care is always up to you. Since many spinal problems get started from traumatic births, accidents, or other long-standing problems, permanent correction can be difficult. Years of muscle damage, scar tissue, and ligamental instability can set the stage for a relapse. After enjoying initial relief, many patients choose to continue with periodic checkups.
