YOUR INTRICATE MESHWORK
- Your Nervous System is an extremely delicate and intricate network comprised of Brain and Spinal Cord. These two important organ networkings are constantly firing neurons to ensure your body is on top of its game: Optimal Functions of your organs, your tissues, your joints, your bone and endocrinal health, etc. Your Brain and Spinal Cord are well protected by the skull and a well-structured biomechanical spinal column. Sports injuries or falls can ultimately affect the functions of any tissue organizations in your body (coma, paralysis, vegetative state of brain, lungs failure, etc.) ie. the unfortunate mishap of a very talented actor, Christopher Reeves 'the SuperMan'. That is how important your nervous system really is. It is the engine of your car, take it away, nothing will work.
- Your spinal column, the protector of the nervous system, requires regular 'touch-ups' like brushing your teeth twice a day for oral hygiene and to prevent cavity, gum diseases, and root canal. Alignment of your spine is essential for overall health, providing flexible movements, and prevention of acute or chronic pain problems. Occasional check-ups are welcomed (better than never) to know the aging stage of your spine and understand the options you may have to take action.
Subluxation
- Chiropractors are well known for their specialty in treating spinal condition called Subluxation. It basically is misalignment of the spine.
- Alignment of the spine allows optimal flow of nerve impulses without any interference. The communication is secured between the outter and inner environments for better awareness, between brain and tissue body/organ for self-healing, between joint and movement to restore balance and prevent incautious injuries, and subdue pain signals.
- When Subluxation or spinal misalignment occurs, your nervous system network is jammed in a staticky transmission, leading to unorganized response of tissue cells at the same level to harmful stimuli (reference to the nerve chart on the left). Normally, prolonged pain is the signal your nervous system alarms that there is something wrong with the healing process. It needs help!
"I have some pain, but I feel fine. I think it will eventually go away."
- Ideally, your pain should be self-healed within 2 weeks if it is related to muscles. If this problem continues past 2 weeks, it is something else, at a higher latter of the network - your nervous system. However, pain may be the last signal that your body cries aloud of something is going wrong. Do you wait until your car breaks down to get a tune-up? Do you only visit the dentist when you need a root canal? We should choose to be PRO-ACTIVE. If you get a health check with a medical doctor annually, your spine and nervous system deserve to get checked as well. Get checked, and it does not hurt.
- Spinal misalignment or Subluxation mostly causes pain sensation aka pinched nerve to occur. It is when too much pressure is applied for too long to a nerve by surrounding tissues (bone, muscle, tendon, ligament, or spinal disc bulge). Everyone has at one time accidentally hit the "funny bone" in their elbow which is actually the ulnar nerve. This physical pressure disrupts the nerve's function causing pain, tingling, numbness or weakness from the elbow down to the fingers. Too much pressure applied for a long time to a nerve along the spine results in much the same sensations.
- When left uncorrected, minor spinal misalignments or subluxations have been proven to interfere enough with the nerve signaling process to be the probable cause of permanent degeneration of tissue. This prolonged blockage of nerve flow can even have deteriorating effect on organ functions and deformation of vertebrae, leading to irreversible spinal stenosis and other spinal problems.
Celebrities and Chiropractic care
Some well-known celebrities have praised chiropractic over the years. To name a few, Tiger Woods, Jerry Price NFL Hall of Famer, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Joe Montana 4 Super Bowl ring holder, Lance Armstrong, etc. and Olympic and Paralympic athletes. Chiropractic care optimizes body functions, in turn it naturally restores overall performance and prevent unnecessary injuries.
