Chiropractic Neurology

Chiropractic is based in neurology.

The spine houses the spinal cord (part of the central nervous system) and has openings that allow nerves to branch off of the cord going to and from all parts of the body.
If the spine is unhealthy, has postural distortions, moves improperly or is lacking flexibility, there will be excessive tension in the spinal cord. This tension will produce measurable changes in nerve function from normal to abnormal. There will be less integration of nerve impulses in the central nervous system (the spinal cord and brain) leading toward health consequences.

Spinal problems, with resulting spinal cord tension, have no way of improving unless action is taken to correct them. On the contrary, without care there is a natural degenerative progression of these problems once they exist.

Many health complaints have a neurological in basis. These include:

pain syndromes of the spine, extremities, face and head

problems with dizziness or balance

problems with breathing mechanics(can’t get a full breath)

problems that may be linked to the autonomic nervous system such
as digestive upset or rapid heart rate

problems with depression and anxiety

sleep disorders
