THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Proper neurological function is the determining factor on your quality of health. The nervous system controls every aspect of your body – comprised of three main divisions: Motor, Sensory, and Visceral. Motor represents 20% and controls muscle movement. Sensory is 80% and most recognized by the five senses. Visceral is part of both motor and sensory, responsible for organ and gland function. The nervous system is in constant contact with its internal self and its external influences instantaneously.

The nervous system compels the body to self heal and self regulate. Cuts heal, our eyes adjust to light, we shiver when cold, our stomach absorbs necessary nutrients from food intake, and the brain recognizes repeated actions so they become second nature – all automatic responses of the body made possible by the nervous system. Everything about our bodies and what distinguishes us as human has to do with the nervous system. But when this system malfunctions you can experience pain, decreased range of motion, physical, mental and organ dysfunction. At Revelation Health, we will help you “feel human” again.

We restore poor communication between the brain and body as a result of abnormal spinal structure interrupting nervous system communication, which reactivates vital functions that are weakened, and have caused your body to become unhealthy. Because our bodies are self regulated and self healing, simply returning your body to its intended state re-establishes proper nerve communication and reinstates definitive health.  So although Chiropractic does not essentially treat specific illnesses and disease, keeping this communication strong, allows your body to stay strong and do the job it was meant to do. This is proven by the body’s favorable response when these changes or adjustments are made.

WHAT DO CHIROPRACTORS DO?

Misalignments and malfunction are called subluxations. Because subluxations disturb function, they affect your health. The main purpose of a Chiropractor is to detect and adjust subluxations. When these adjustments are made, you experience improved position, movement, and function of the vertebrae, therefore improved communication between the body and brain which in turn creates a healthier central nervous system.

Chiropractic care is a common sense approach to health care. We seek out the origin of the problem; what is causing the symptom, not what is the symptom and how can we suppress it. Rather than administering pain medications, we strategize on how best to restore normal function to the spine. Your spine can be misaligned for various reasons, and our extensive evaluations will help us best determine that reason.  Information is gathered from case history, conducting physical examinations, requesting laboratory analysis and x-rays along with assessing patient structure, specifically the spine, and determination of nutrition and exercise routines along with stress levels, work and home atmospheres and other relevant factors.  Only after all pertinent information is gathered to we make a diagnosis.

DO I HAVE TO KEEP VISITING A CHIROPRACTOR ONCE I START?

Only if you want to maintain good health.  Even people that aren’t experiencing any symptoms of a sublaxation, may be misaligned and malfunctioning. Once initial correction is complete, dependant on your body, the level of distress in your spine, and the extent of injury, illness or conditions, your necessary visits may vary from days apart to once a year. Just as your regular dental care and yearly medicals are  a necessary part of your health care routine, your spine also needs scheduled maintenance.

THE EFFECTS OF UNCORRECTED SPINAL MALFUNCTION

When you experience a vertebral subluxation, there can be nerve irritation and tissue damage. Over time, if not corrected, the misalignment may cause soft tissue damage and nerve irritation. So, as the body tries to stabilize and fix itself, it transfers calcium to the joints that are unaligned. This may cause the disc to narrow, calcium deposits and bone spurs to form which in turn will increase pain and nerve irritation. If alignment is still neglected, the body with continue to try and repair itself, and could result in joint immobilization, bone fusion, nerve atrophy, and scar tissue.

Proper Chiropractic care can reverse damages, stop, or at the very least slow additional decay from happening. Regular Chiropractic check-ups can eliminate any of this from happening. Because misalignment and malfunction can start without any visible signs, early detection and prevention are necessary to ensure normal function and a healthy body. Your body deserves the best, don’t put off Chiropractic care, waiting until your problems become constant or symptoms worsen. Your health depends on it.

IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE SAFE?

Chiropractic relies on the body’s ability to self-heal when the right environment is fostered. It is all natural, drug free, and non-invasive.  Although adjustments and alignments sound like daunting procedures, you must remember that they are being performed by a trained professional. Not only is it safe, but it is ideal for all age groups from infancy through to adulthood as well as the elderly.

CAN CHIROPRACTORS CURE DISEASES

Chiropractors don’t cure diseases, the body does – when you enable it to! Chiropractic facilitates healing by providing your body with the necessary tools, such as proper nutrition, exercise, rest, emotional balance, and a nervous symptom that is working at its best. When the body’s means of communication are clear, proper nerve function ensues that all functions necessary to fight off diseases can operate at full capacity; your immune system, skeletal system, respiratory system, digestive system, hormones etc.

No one would ever ask to be sick. But, it is a vital part of living a healthy life. Illness actually serves a purpose. Symptoms such as fever, vomiting and rashes are simply the body detoxifying and healing itself. Suppressing these symptoms with drugs and chemicals interferes with this process. Naturally overcoming these symptoms allows the body to develop a stable immune system that is able to conquer other illness presented later in life. It is proven that children that had overcome sickness naturally and were less prone to developing allergies, asthma, depression and even more serious illness as Cancer, brain tumors and heart disease later in life.  Chiropractic care provides solutions for spinal care, diet and nutrition, exercise and fitness, women’s health issues, stress management, depression, and so on by creating a natural environment for your body full access to its natural healing methods.
