Chiropractic: how it works and what it treats

Regulation of Life and Functionality

The Importance of the Nervous System

All chemical, mental, and structural balances, as well as our perception of life, are controlled and regulated by our nervous system. Every piece of information from the external environment and our body travels through nerve impulses, passing through the spinal cord to the brain. Here, they are decoded, and precise responses are sent back through the spinal cord and nerves to reach every single cell in our body, regulating and adapting them to every type of external stimulus, allowing them to function in perfect harmony.

Impact of Subluxations

In the presence of spinal dysfunctions, known as subluxations in chiropractic, interferences can occur that cause aberrations in these nerve signals, leading to both physical and chemical dysfunctions in the body, which over time can predispose one to disease. Pain or discomfort in the spine alerts us to the presence of a subluxation, but these can also be asymptomatic and equally detrimental to health.

Prevention and Chiropractic

Only 10% of our nervous system perceives pain. The remaining 90% could suffer damage without us being aware of it. This is why chiropractic is not only limited to pain relief but is especially dedicated to prevention at every stage of life. It is important to understand what generates the development of these subluxations that create neurological interferences.

I had suffered from back pain for a long time. After trying some therapy (massages, physiotherapy / ultrasounds), I turned to Chiropractic and solved my problem. Now I receive periodic treatments.

Chiropractic care: what does it cure?

Some examples

Cervicalgia

The cervical spine is critical for neurological signals and brain support.
Neck problems result from trauma and poor posture due to electronic devices.

Read

Whiplash

It occurs not only in traffic accidents, but also in sports such as rugby, boxing and basketball, where the neck undergoes violent movements, causing injury to the muscles and ligaments of the cervical spine.

Read

Herniated disc

The spine is composed of vertebrae connected by joints and intervertebral discs, which provide movement and cushioning.
Incorrect alignment can cause herniated discs, with leakage of internal material that can compress the spinal cord and nerves.

Read

Lumbago

About 85% of the Western population will suffer from low back pain in their lifetime, mainly due to mechanical causes.
Factors such as poor posture, repetitive movements, emotional stress and aging contribute to these pains.

Read

Headache

Headaches are classified into primary and secondary.
Primary, 95 percent of cases, include migraine, muscle-tensive, and cluster headaches.
Secondary ones result from other causes such as sinusitis, medications, meningitis, trauma, tumors, and cervical problems.

Shoulder pain

The shoulder is a complex joint that balances mobility and stability through the cooperation of three main joints and two pseudo-joints, controlled by 23 muscles.
Biomechanical problems of the spine can affect the shoulder, causing incorrect movements and microtrauma.
