Chiropractic Care in New Tripoli
To the uneducated observer, a Chiropractic adjustment does little more than cause a soft “popping” noise and relieve pain. The adjustment itself seems pretty simplistic doesn’t it? A little push here, a “pop” there. Aren’t there other therapies that can do practically the same thing?
So, what is so special about an adjustment from a Chiropractic physician? Truth be told, chiropractic adjustments have been in play for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Designed to restore your bodies innate ability to heal itself, we’re passionate about improving your function naturally.

The Importance of the Nervous System
To understand the importance of a Chiropractic adjustment, you must first understand the importance of the nervous system. The nervous system is the first formed during fetal development, and it will integrate the entire body for the rest of life. Your nervous system is “command central” for your entire body.
To function optimally, your brain needs to be in constant communication with every organ, gland, muscle, and system in your body. Your brain accomplishes this by sending and receiving messages through your nervous system.
Interference with the nervous pathways traveling down from the brain can cause dysfunction with the muscles, glands, organs, and tissues that are controlled by those pathways. The results: impaired movement, digestion, hormone balance, immune function, cardiovascular function, kidney function, liver function, and more.
Interference with the pathways that bring feedback up from the body will result in the brain receiving information that is not accurate about what is happening down below. Based on misinformation, the brain will make impaired decisions about how to regulate the body. The results: imbalance, dysfunction, and eventually disease.
How Does Chiropractic Care Help?
Simply stated, a Chiropractic adjustment resets the dysfunctional “circuit” by removing the fixation and restoring normal motion, neurological function, and balance.
The most common causes of joint fixations are major trauma, repeated small trauma, postural stress, muscle imbalance, biochemical imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, dehydration, toxicity, and emotional stress.
Most importantly, thorough Chiropractic care will also address the original cause(s) of the fixation by examining the preceding structural, biochemical, and emotional factors. Chiropractic care is much more than manipulation (adjusting the spine). It is a lifestyle focused on health and wellness.
