Chiropractor Juneau Downtown - Chiropractic care identifies and corrects the cause of health problems caused when misalignments of the spinal column disturb neurological communications between the brain and the rest of the body - the tissues, organs and cells. Vertebrae are the small bones that make up the spine. Chiropractors softly correct the position of the spinal column to correct misalignments and restore neurological communications. Chiropractic care eliminate or decrease neuropathy (changes in the pathology of the nerves), enabling the body to heal, regulate itself and adopt.
Spinal misalignments could normally be caused by tension as tension is able to overwhelm the resilience and coping ability of the body. The word "chiropractic" simply means "done by hand." Chiropractic, as a practice of healthcare, is actually "a treatment that is manually performed by hand."
The role of chiropractic care is to concentrate on the issues of the vertebrae and the central nervous system. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (of the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and the way that connection has an effect on the preservation and restoration of health. A healthy structure (spine) leverages the recuperative power of the body to heal itself efficiently and effectively.
The central nervous system, the master controller of all the bodies functions, housed by the spine, communicates with the body while allowing adjustment to internal and external influences. This ability to alter is very vital to the body's tendency to maintain its health and sustain life.
Nearly every process which the body uses in order to sustain itself is dependent on the functioning of this communication network between the brain and the body. Like for example, the ability to digest our dinner and the ability to respond to infection is dependent on this very important communications link.
Fortunately, the body has a built-in protection system for the central nervous system. The skull protects the brain, and 24 vertebrae protect the spinal cord. These movable parts not just protect the central nervous system, they even provide the axis for the body's whole musculo-skeletal system. A unique set of nerves pass through every vertebra through holes known as foramen to the several systems of the body. This remarkable built-in protection for the spinal cord is subject to misalignment. Stresses could cause the spinal vertebrae to reposition themselves in such a way as to result in back and neck pain.
Chiropractors understand that for the health of the nervous system, right positioning of the spinal column is essential. Pressures on the brain stem or root nerves that travel through the foramen, could affect millions of nerve fibers. Interfering with these nerve fibers can unfavorably have an effect on your health. Hence, the care and maintenance of the spinal column and nervous system is essential.
Whatever physical trauma like falls and accidents can lead to stress to the vertebrae. In addition, workplace stresses, birth traumas and even posture can impact the spines proper functioning. A major emotional experience, such as the loss of a loved one or a move, could also affect the nervous system. Chemical trauma is caused by abuse of pharmaceutical or illicit drugs, improper nutrition or environmental pollution. Whichever of these stressors can suppress normal functioning, impact the body's natural ability to heal and interfere with the central nervous system.
