The basis of chiropractic is built around structure and function. Structure affects function, meaning how something is built will affect what that object does in motion.The human body thinks of motion globally. When you bend over to tie your shoe, your spine doesn't think, move the 5th lumbar segment, then the fourth, etc. The move all at once in a coupled motion pattern. If one segment doesn't move enough (hypomobililty), the adjacent segments have to compensate (creating hypermobility). Over time, the segments that move too much (hypermobile) are prone to degeneration. This is where Chiropractic adjustments come in. We move joints that aren't moving enough. This allows your segments to move freely throughout your entire spine, as it was naturally intended.
Chiropractors aren't limited to spinal adjusting. We work on extremities (arms and legs) as well. Many chiropractors have different specialties, such as pediatrics, geriatrics, acupuncture, massage, homeopathy, herbal medicine and so on. No two chiropractors are exactly alike because everyone has a combination of different specialties and adjusting techniques. I encourage you to try different chiropractors if you are not satisfied with your current one, because every doctor can help with different conditions. If you aren't sure if chiropractic can help you, just ask! Try chiropractic, its more than you think.
