The Nervous System

Virtually each cell, tissue, organ and system of your body is controlled and regulated by your nervous system. While the chemical and electrical nature of this vast network is best left to specialists, here are a few key things you should know:

• Nerve impulses are sent from the brain out to the organs and tissues of your body.
• Nerve impulses are sent back to the brain to make sure everything is working correctly.
• The nervous system is vulnerable where delicate nerve tissue comes into proximity with the moving bones of your spine. That’s why we're interested in your spine!

So, what is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is the science, art and philosophy of finding and correcting spinal imbalances (otherwise known as vertebral subluxations). Subluxations occur when the spinal vertebra move out of their normal positions or range of movements; thus irritating the nervous system. By correcting subluxation, nerve interference can be removed and the spine and nervous system can return to a state of wellness.

The philosophy of Chiropractic states that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. Chiropractic is drug- and surgery-free healthcare. At Hunter Healthy Spines, as well as spinal care we also encourage balanced, healthy lifestyles to feel the optimum benefits of Chiropractic. This includes positive mental attitude, good diet, proper posture, and regular exercise. We focus on all ages, from babies to adults, because that first subluxation can even occur before or during birth.
