A chiropractor is a doctor who specializes in the care and rehabilitation of the spine which controls the functioning of the human body.
A person will not know if chiropractic care is right for them until they understand the foundation of chiropractic and the healing process of the body.
Principle #1.
Your body has an intelligence within itself to heal. If your hand was cut,
your hand heals. If a corpse is cut it does not heal. If you go give blood,
do you have to put new blood back in or does your body make its own blood.
No, that's because what controls the healing function of your body is the
nervous system. Gray Anatomy 29th edition page 4. The nervous system is the
master control system of the body it controls and regulates every function
of the body.
Principle #2.
Principle 2 is the fact the nervous system is the master controller of the
body. It not only regulates the healing process, but every system of the body.
Principle #3.
If there is interference with the nervous system, then your body can't function
or heal at 100%. Interference can and will be caused when the vertebra are
out of alignment putting pressure or causing interference with the nervous
system.
Principle #4.
The last principle is what chiropractors do is locate and correct that nerve
interference, thus allowing the power that made the body to heal the body.
Chiropractors correct structure, producing function to the body.
Chiropractor vs. MD
Is a Chiropractor a doctor? Yes, after a college undergraduate
degree chiropractic students spend thousands of hours in studies such as radiology,
laboratory and classroom training. After graduation the graduate must pass
exams in whichever state he/she wishes to practice in.
