How does Chiropractic work? Everywhere you turn people have become obsessed with finding different ways to achieve 100% health. Living in Tucson makes it possible for us to be outdoors exercising all year long. Yes, exercise is one of the necessary ingredients to achieve good health, but there are four other laws that must be satisfied, and here they are.

1. Exercise
2. Diet (healthy food)
3. Positive mental attitude (happy) + decrease stress
4. Sleep
5. Sound nervous system (chiropractic)

We'll discuss number five in more detail. The nervous system controls every function, every organ, every tissue and cell in the entire body. Our brain is like an electrical generator that controls all the functions in our body. The messages travel down from the brain along an electrical cable known as the spinal cord. The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system. The skull protects the brain, and there are 24 freely moveable vertebras that protect the spinal cord. In between each one of our back bones (vertebra) smaller electrical wires (spinal nerves) exit from the spinal cord and begin to plug in our muscles, organs, skin, etc. We must have 100% of the power from our brains reaching to all our body parts and then back up to our brains without any interruptions in order to have 100% function. Therefore,

1. A sound nervous system (100% function) +
2. Diet (eating healthy) +
3. Positive mental attitude (happy/positive) +
4. Exercise +
5. Sleep (rest) = 100% Health

Health problems occur when one or more vertebras become misaligned or lose their normal motion (fixated) through many different causes. In Chiropractic these misalignments are called subluxations. Subluxations then are a minor misalignment of the spine causing irritation to a nerve and a loss of normal function along that nerve. The job of a Chiropractor is to locate the areas of subluxation or fixation of vertebras and correct them by making an adjustment to realign or restore the normal motion of the vertebra. There are many techniques to restore the motion but the most common method is to adjust the spine by hand. Doctors of Chiropractic correct fixations to restore the normal function of the nervous system.

Conditions treated by Chiropractors are endless, but most people seek care when they have neck or back pain. Any pain relating to the muscle or skeletal system are the primary reasons for a visit to the Chiropractors office. People involved in car accidents, athletes involved in sports injuries, a slip and fall in the shower may all require treatment by a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic. In fact Joe Montana, quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers was adjusted on the football field by Nick Athens, D.C. and went on to win the super-bowl that day and was voted the MVP of the game. Good results throughout the profession have also been reported with cases involving allergies, asthma, and digestive disorders including peptic ulcer disease. Dear Abby received many letters from parents claiming that chiropractic eliminated bed-wetting for their children. But the most common relief reported was from lower back pain, sciatic pain (pain down the leg) and headaches

Treatment by Chiropractors is referred to as Chiropractic manipulative therapy (CMT) or simply adjustments. The goal is restore the motion, (correct the subluxations) to reduce irritation of the nervous system so the body can heal and regain its health. People with 100% health don't get sick. Chiropractic treatment restores health.
