The life circulating in every body seeks to keep it at its full potential. In order to do this, the body, by its nervous system, will adapt to anything that may disrupt its balance.
This extraordinary process could be overwhelmed by some events (emotional stress, trauma, repeated gestures, fall, surgery, etc...) and therefore would no longer fulfill its role; which could induce pain, loss of mobility or an overall bad feeling, that would match to the symptoms of the original cause.
The chiropractor will identify and release this trigger, leaving the natural regeneration potential free to work its magic.
The chiropractic approach puts the nervous system as key of health, as a link between the people’s internal world and external environment.
So we don’t simply treat the consequence, but we also adjust the cause.
