While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable, covered by 24 moving vertebrae. When these bones lose their normal motion or position, they can irritate the nervous system. This disrupts the function of the tissues or organs these nerves control, and this is called vertebral subluxation complex. Chiropractic is the science of locating these areas of spinal malfunction and the art of correcting them to allow the body to heal itself. As we all know, regardless of which type of doctor you consult, only the body can heal itself.
Many spinal problems seen in adults begin in childhood.
Proper spinal hygiene is an important key to better health. That is why at the Mount Chiropractic Centre we have a special interest in serving families and children. If you have a concern about your health or have sustained an injury, feel free to call us for a no charge, no obligation consultation. It may be worth your while to find out if chiropractic can help you. Like regular dental checkups, once patients experience the value of chiropractic many choose to continue.
