What Is Chiropractic?
What Is Chiropractic? Oxford Chiropractor responds.
Chiropractic is a primary healthcare profession aimed at restoring the body’s natural innate ability to heal and regulate itself. It’s a system of locating and correcting misalignments in the spine (as well as other joints of the body) that leads to loss of function which eventually leads to dis-ease and pain.
Your Body Can Heal Itself
At Northwood Chiropractic we believe the body is intelligent and thus has been created with the ability to be able to heal itself. For example if you cut your finger, within a relatively short period of time, it would heal. In fact, after a certain point, you wouldn’t even know it was cut in the first place. This is your body’s innate intelligence at work. The incredible thing is, the body can do this everywhere, provided there’s no interference. This intelligence comes from your central nervous system (like your central computer in your body) and it talks to your body to tell it what to do. It does this by sending messages through the spine. A problem in the spine however will cause an interference of these messages from your central nervous system to the body. This causes the body not to function very well and thus leading to a variety of conditions and pain issues.
Primary Objective Of The Chiropractor
The primary objective of the Chiropractor is to locate and remove the interference in your spine to restore proper function to your body. This then allows the body to heal naturally as it should and thus not only providing pain relief but improved function that lasts. This is because we have addressed the root cause of the problem as opposed to just managing symptoms.
Our Unique Approach At Northwood Chiropractic
At Northwood Chiropractic we believe that the better we define a problem, the better the results we can get for people. This is why we focus on providing a very detailed exam which then tells us how to best implement the most precise way of correcting the problem for best and lasting results. To best achieve this, we use what we believe is the gold standard in Chiropractic care, the Gonstead system.
