How does chiropractic work?

Your brain sends messages down your spinal cord to the rest of your body - your hands and feet, all your organs, your muscles, joints and even your skin.  All these parts of your body also send messages back to the brain via the nervous system and the spinal cord.  When you have a subluxation, something is interfering in some way with the messages between your brain and body or vice versa.

Have you ever been on the phone and the other person keeps dropping in and out so you only get half of the message?  When you have a subluxation it is just like that.  Your brain may only be getting parts of the message so it has to fill in the blanks.  Sometimes it fills in the blanks correctly so you don't know you have a subluxation but at other times it may fill in the blanks with incorrect information like tingling, pain, pressure, ringing, numbness or any other kind of information it thinks may be appropriate.  

Chiropractic adjustments act to reset the brain and nervous system like turning the phone or computer on and off when it have been overloaded.  This resetting aims to re-establish optimal connections and communication between the brain and all areas of the body.  ~Bel
