When I first heard about chiropractic treatment, I learned they adjust your bones to correct alignment. Adjusting your bones, to me, meant a definite pain alert. There was something about moving my bones while I was conscious that was extremely scary and, in my head, excruciatingly painful! My assumptions were confirmed when I went to a chiropractic clinic one time, I was welcomed by a patient moaning in pain. I decided that alignment or not, this was the last time I set foot in a chiropractic clinic. Little did I know how wrong I was. Let me explain.
WHAT EXACTLY IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractic is a discipline that focuses on the alignment and the movement of the spine. Trained specialists (a.k.a chiropractors) feel for misalignments in the spine and use their hands or small instruments to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint. This will improve alignment and movement which will keep the brain and the body connected allowing the body to heal on its own.
“If the phone charger is plugged into the wall but not to the phone or vice versa, the purpose is completely lost. But, if the charger is plugged to both the wall and the phone, it does its job. We don’t charge the phone, do we? No, we connect the charger and the phone so that it can do its job,” says Mario Valcourt* D.C., Doctor of Chiropractic, Sana Chiropractic. “Similarly, chiropractic is simple, we connect the brain and body so that the body can do its job.”
