CHIROPRACTTC FOR
LUMBAGO.

Lumbago is a muscular rheu-
matism in the small of the back,
many times confused with sciati-
ca. The primary cause of lum-
bago is a subluxation of one or
more of the spinal segments,
producing nerve pressure.
The pain ana rigidity of the
muscles is caused by the nerves
not keeping the Emphatic sys-
tenn in proper order; in such
condition there is so much waste
matter in the muscles that the
least movement of them is very
painful.
The solicitations that are
found in cases of lumbago do,
many times, cause bowel disor-
ders, such as irregular move
ment, allowing poison to remain
in the system that should be
thrown out, nature being unable
to assert herself, due to me-
ehanical interference in the spine
simply does the best she can I'M
der the existing condition.
Exposure to wet and cold, fails, jars,
shocks or anything that Injuries the
spine or causes displacement OF one
or more of the vertebrae, producing
nerve pressure, are the direct cause OF
lumbaxo. and 1t is this nerve pressure
that. Il allowed to exist, produces pain
20 s,.ch an extent that motion is prac-
tically Impossible. This lack Of rnoolH-
ty is quite different from paralysis In
that a person does not dare to move
these muscles realizing that there is
great pain connected with such action.
One of the functions OF the Emphatic
system Is to help dispose Of the waste
material in the body, but it can not do
its work properly II there IS not sufft-
Gent life force or nerve supply trans
mitted to the effected part; nature
must have free and uninterrupted
transmission OF this life force or hu-
man electnctty at all times. Thus,
when the lymph glands become
clogged. preventing them from per-
forming their function, the waste ma
terial remains and causes irritation
with pain and swelling.
In lumbago. az In other forms Of
rheumatism the kidneys also are OF
great Importance and chiropractors do
not overlook this important function
or part that the kidneys play in keep
ing the System cleared OF the bodily
poisons. Lumbago exists only when
there is nerve pressure interfering with
nature to such an extent that 1t IS I'M
able to perform its task of carrying
away the waste material.
This is why Chiropractic has been
so successful with lumbago and all
muscular rheumatism Chiropractic
deals with the nervous system, the mo-
tive force that moves the various parts
Of the body. II the body Is given the
proper amount Of nerve force it will
take care Of all the operations in the
body that are necessary to keep ali
parts Of the body healthy.
When a person remembers that 1t is
not the blood. but the nerves, that de-
termine whether or not part is
healthy, then that person gets to the
real cause Of diseased conditions. The
various parts of the body are controlled
and taken care Of by life force gener-
ated by the brain or human dynamo;
cut OF this life force from a certain
part that has lost its mobility, its nat
ural function, there Is no repair, no
chance for nature to perform its runc-
tions. there Is only destruction, back
ward process commonly called disease;
to a Chiropractor this is inco-ordina-
ton.
Chiropractic adjustments free i'm
pinged nerves, allowing nature to as
sert herself. which consists Of eltminat-
ing bodily poisons and building UP re-
sistance and putting TIE body in the
best condition possible. No human be.
ing can cure disease regardless Of what
torn. Chtropractors can not and do not
claim to cure disease, But they can
md do adjust the mechanical interior
ence in the spinal column which 10 pri-
marily the cause OF so-called disease.
Chiropractc adjustments are but the
means Of making the body mechanical
iy perfect. All Of the curative power in
the body ts controlled by the brain,
generated by 1t, and transmitted over
every nerve to every tissue cell In the
body.
