What does a chiropractor actually do? Very often you hear people saying that the chiropractor can fix neck pain and back pain. Other people might tell you funny story such as; they went to the Chiropractor Culver City and he cured their indigestion, bile problem, headaches, visual disturbance, etc. They sometimes even say they use to have ringing in their ears and their daughter had bedwetting, but it all went away.

So the question is can chiropractic cure or fix all these conditions? The answer is always going to be the same. It is going to be no. In fact, the secret is that a chiropractor never ever ever treat a single condition. They have never treated a headache; and they have never treated a back pain.

Chiropractic medicine is a branch of medicine concerned with maintaining a healthy nervous system just by maintaining a healthy spine. It is a tenet in chiropractic medicine that the vitality of the body is tied to the vitality of individual parts of the human body. In other words, the whole is a reflection of all the contributing parts.

The human body is a beauty composed of over fifty to seventy trillion cells, all functioning in tandem 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (at least, till you die). This masterpiece keeps you breathing when you sleep at night, circulates the blood in your body through your beating heart while taking that jog and is digesting the food you ate an hour or so ago. How does the body coordinate all these parts and functions like a well-oiled machine or a well-programed computer? The secret behind all these is the brain, a major player in the body's nervous system.

You might ask how the brain controls the digestive functions of your stomach. It is simple and at the same time complex. But in a simple explanation, the brain does this by sending a signal with instructions to digest your food via your spine. This signal subsequently comes out from the primary nerve of your spine, goes through different interconnecting nerves and finally arrives at the nerves directly linked to the stomach, where the instructions are carried out.

Subluxation simply means a misalignment or breach in the spine. In such situations, if the brain is trying to send a signal to your stomach to digest what you are eating right now, and there is a subluxation or misalignment present in your spinal column, this might prevent the signal from reaching your stomach via the connecting nerves. This is where the practitioner of this system of complementary medicine comes in as he works in correcting the breach caused by the subluxation.

With this problem, the chiropractor will have to look at your spine to diagnose if you have subluxation in the first place. If it is determined to be a subluxation problem, the chiropractor will then treat by using safe and effective measures to remove the pressure on the offending nerve. If all goes well, you can get back to the benefits of a fully functional body.

A working vitalized nervous system is the key to maintaining optimum health. You can't have a 100% function in your body if you have interferences in the nerves coming from your spinal column. Your practitioner's job is to ensure the health of your nervous system through maintaining a well aligned and healthy spine and by extension, improve the health of the rest of your body.
