What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a complete system of healthcare focused on restoring, preserving, and optimizing health by natural hands-on care. Doctors of chiropractic do not treat symptoms, though this may be the initial reason why a patient comes to a chiropractic office. Chiropractors attempt to get to the root cause of a health problem. The primary focus of chiropractic is the detection, reduction, and correction of spinal misalignments with resultant nervous system dysfunction.
The spine is an important structure that houses and provides protection for the spinal cord, while providing mobility for the upper body. This dual requirement of strength and flexibility makes the spine a very complex structure, with multiple joints at each spinal segment (the vertebrae) forming the spinal column. When these joints (also known as articulations) are not positioned or functioning normally, it can affect the nerves exiting the spine. Chiropractic care attends to irritations along the spine by manually repositioning these joints. This is a chiropractic "adjustment." Chiropractic CareOur goal at Banker Chiropractic is to relieve your pain by restoring normal function. Chiropractors detect and eliminate spinal misalignments and restricted movements, called “subluxations,” in the in the joints of the body. This is important because these restricted movements and misalignments can interfere with the normal function of the nervous system and create an abnormally functioning body. Proper spinal care through chiropractic care can help lead to increased overall health and quality of life.
