How does chiropractic work best?
There are many different approaches in chiropractic and I see people who have had all different types of experiences. Today I want to talk to you about the unique corrective chiropractic care approach that we take here in the office.
When it comes to how your body works, all function and health is controlled by your brain and your nervous system. Your brain sends signals down your spinal cord and out the nerves controlling and regulating all health and healing in your body. And there’s three parts to the nervous system.
- The brain stem at the base of the brain.
- The spinal cord.
- The individual nerve roots that are going out to the body.
Now, each one of these areas cannot have any interference, any pressure for the body to be able to function and heal correctly.

Chiropractic is Not Just For Back and Neck Pain
Most people think of chiropractic care when they have neck pain or back pain or headaches or some type of an injury. When you damage these nerves with what’s called subluxation, those conditions can happen.
Normally you should have a nice curve in the neck. This is proper alignment [see video]. Your spine should be totally straight from the front.
Now because of stresses, accidents, injuries, and other things like that, it can actually cause shifts – misalignment in the spine – that will put pressure on the brain stem, spinal cord and nerves and will interfere with the communication from the brain to the body.
That’s subluxation. That’s the most dangerous health condition that you can have, but usually you don’t feel it.
Phases of Spinal Degeneration
Phase 1 is where degeneration starts and you don’t necessarily notice it, but it keeps putting stress on the body. Your Body keeps shutting down.
Once you lose enough function, you start experiencing pain or other symptoms. Typically, most people are already in phase 2 by the time that happens.
In phase 2 the spine itself is degenerating, the brain is degenerating, and health is shutting down in the body.
Now, chiropractic doesn’t work on a relief or symptomatic basis. It works on a functional basis. When we come in and we make corrections to our patients, the goal is to reduce and eliminate subluxation, reduce the interference, and the body heals itself.
Remove Nervous System Interference For Improved Health
Remove the interference, the body heals itself through the brain and the nervous system. So that’s exactly what we look for.
- That’s what we reevaluate.
- That’s why we take x rays.
- This is why we do all the different evaluations we do in the office.
To look for interference in the brain and nervous system. And the reason why we’re helping people that hadn’t been helped from other chiropractors, that haven’t gotten where they wanted to be from other doctors or other practitioners, or they’ve just been struggling with a problem and haven’t found the answer is because we focus on helping the body heal itself by reducing interference.
Most other things – medications, over the counters add interference. If it makes you feel better but it doesn’t fix the cause or increase function, it’s increasing interference and that’s not health.
So the goal is not to feel better or correct a symptom. It’s to correct the cause, improve function, and allow the body to heal itself the way it was designed to from the inside out.
