What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic: An Art, Science and Philosophy.
In the late 1800s, a self-educated teacher and healer named Daniel David Palmer performed what is now recognised as the first spinal adjustment, giving birth to modern Chiropractic.
The term “Chiropractic” is derived from Greek words meaning “treatment by hand,” which is precisely what chiropractors do. Chiropractors primarily use their hands to fine tune the body to promote healing and wellbeing.
Healing the Whole Body
The core philosophy of Chiropractic care is rooted in the belief that all bodily functions are interconnected, and the healing process encompasses the entire body.
Here are some of key tenets:
- Interconnected Bodily Functions: Chiropractors view the body as an integrated whole. They believe that optimal health is achieved when all systems are in harmony.
- The Power of the Nervous System: At the heart of chiropractic care is the nervous system, particularly the spine. The spinal cord is the main highway for information travelling throughout the body, governing both voluntary movements, like walking, and involuntary functions, such as breathing.
- Homeostasis and Balance: When the body’s systems are in balance, a state known as homeostasis is achieved. Disorders of the bones, muscles, and nerves can disrupt this balance, increasing the risk of disease and other health problems. Chiropractic aims to restore this balance, allowing the body to maintain health and heal itself naturally.
The Science and Art of Chiropractic
Chiropractic is built on the scientific understanding that the body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism. This discipline involves:
- Locating Offending Spinal Structures: Chiropractors are trained to identify misalignments or subluxations in the spine that can impede the nervous systems function.
- Restoring Nervous System Function: Through spinal adjustments and correction, Chiropractors reduce the impact of these misalignments, promoting better nervous system function and overall health.
- Embracing Natural Health Care: Chiropractic philosophy emphasises the body’s inborn potential to be healthy without the need for drugs or surgery. It focuses on enhancing the body’s natural healing abilities.
