Chiropractic in Chiclana: What It Is and How We Work

Chiropractic in Chiclana

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Chiropractic is a health profession, which deals with the diagnosis, care and prevention of alterations of the musculoskeletal system and the effects that these disorders produce on the function of the nervous system and general health.

Chiropractors generally work on the spinal column to achieve correct alignment, thus affecting the functioning of the nervous system and consequently the health of the entire body.

Therefore, the Chiropractor deals with the detection, analysis and correction of vertebral and joint blockage that interrupt the function of the tissues or organs that the nerves control. This interference is called vertebral subluxation. With the help of our hands, chiropractors correct these vertebral subluxations through specific vertebral manual adjustment.

Our approach to chiropractic in Chiclana places special emphasis on the body’s inherent capacity for recovery and on the role of the nervous system in maintaining the general balance of the human body, or homeostasis.

HOW NERVOUS SYSTEM WORKS?

The nervous system (NS) is in charge of controlling all the functions of our body, through the sending of information to the different parts of the body and controls and modifies the information that comes from all parts of the body. It is made up of the brain and spinal cord. It is so important that it is the only system protected by a shell of bone made up of the skull and spinal column.

From the spinal cord leave countless nerves that will reach all the organs, tissues, bones, muscles and cells of the body.

Therefore, any mechanical and functional alteration (vertebral subluxation) in our spine will cause dysfunctions of the NS, directly affecting the health of the organism.

VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION

When a vertebra leaves its optimal position, an interference occurs in the nervous system that affects the communication between our brain and a specific part of our body (organ, muscle, tissue, cell). This interference can lead to pain and long-term loss of function, or even disease.

Vertebral subluxation therefore affects the function of our body, reducing our potential for health.

Origin of Vertebral Subluxations.

The 5 Pillars of Chiropractic

A body that functions in a balanced way has an innate capacity for self-recovery. Health comes from within.
The nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and nerves) controls, coordinates, and regulates all tissues, cells, and functions of the body.
The brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is protected by the spinal column, made up of 24 mobile vertebrae that act as its protective helmet.
A vertebral subluxation (less mobility and / or vertebral displacement that irritates a nerve) negatively interferes with the functioning of the nervous system.

The communication between the brain and the body does not work well, harming the overall health.
The Chiropractor is dedicated to locating and correcting subluxations. Freeing the nervous system of these interferences through chiropractic adjustments.

Communication between the brain and the body flows again, allowing the body to function at 100% of its capacities.

Chiropractic can benefit people of all ages who want to live a happier, more active life, with more possibilities.
