The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (what our body is made up of) and function (movements of life) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.
As a Chiropractor, our goal is to restore movement into your joints, to allow the communication from our brain to body to be as efficient as possible.
Analogies to help describe chiropractic care:
Oiling a machine
Imagine a machine with lots of moving gears. If one part becomes stiff, the whole machine may feel less efficient. Chiropractic care focuses on improving movement within those mechanical parts of the body.
Traffic flow
Think of your joints as intersections in a city. If one intersection isn't moving well, traffic can become awkward and inefficient. Chiropractic care aims to improve movement through that "intersection."
Maintaining a house
Your body is like a house: constantly moving, carrying loads, and experiencing wear and tear. Chiropractic care is one form of maintenance that focuses particularly on the body's joints and musculoskeletal system.
If we have any irritation to any part of the nervous system our body is going to react to these changes. This may result in pain, decreased movement and loss of overall function to our day to day life.
