Melbourne Chiropractors – Chiropractic Care
Melbourne’s Queen Street Chiropractic explains the basics of chiropractic & how it can improve your health:
Chiropractic is based on 3 simple principles:
- Your nervous system is the master control system of the body and coordinates all of your body’s functions and movement, ability to adapt to stress, sense the world, think, feel and express emotion. Your nervous system keeps you alive and healthy.
- Your spine encases the spinal cord. Tension, misalignments or altered movement of your spine are called subluxations and result in distortion of your nervous system. This can have dramatic effects on your overall health and wellbeing.
- Subluxations are formed in response to physical, mental, emotional and chemical stress. This is exacerbated by the many stresses in modern daily life.
The 3 causes of subluxation:
- Physical: Injuries, accidents, slips, falls, the birth process, prolonged ‘abnormal’ postures or repetitive movements.
- Mental and Emotional: Upsets, arguments, personal traumas, work pressure, life or career changes.
- Chemical: Toxins, additives and chemicals used in food production, cigarette smoking, medications and other pollutants in our environment.
Possible Effects of Subluxation:
- Reduced function of the different organs or systems of your body
- Reduced ability to cope with and adapt to stress and change
- Changes in muscular tension
- Reduced flexibility, balance, muscle strength and co-ordination
- Asthma and allergies
- Reduced ability to learn, concentrate and other behavioral problems
- Reduced vitality and energy levels
- Reduced ability to sense or feel your body and emotions
- Poor posture and altered spinal curves such as scoliosis
- Low back pain, neck pain, headaches, pain in other parts of the body ( depending on which nerves are affected)
- Spinal degeneration or decay
