The goal of chiropractic care is to realign vertebrae that have slipped out of place in order to reduce symptoms of pain and discomfort throughout the body. Your spine is designed to protect your spinal cord. Your spinal cord is responsible for moving information from your brain to the rest of your body. Your spine is the protective case for one of the most important parts of your body, and a Monterey CA chiropractor can help you maintain it.
Chiropractic Explained
Spinal manipulation, also known as a chiropractic adjustment, is the holistic approach to one's body. A controlled force is applied to your restricted joints to allow movement, along with alleviating pain and muscle tightness. What this accomplishes is allowing your injured tissue to begin to heal, over the course of your care plan. Chiropractic care focuses on the holistic side of your musculoskeletal and nervous systems. It concentrates on harmonizing your body and helping you utilize your body's natural healing mechanisms.
That's a lot to take in, but it is the explanation as to why some chiropractic patients in Monterey CA report improvement in body function. This is not a claim that chiropractic adjustments cure disease, but it does suggest that some people will see improvements in conditions that are outside of the adjustment area.
The History of Chiropractic Care
The word “Chiropractic” is derived from the Greek words “cheir” (hand) and “praktos” (done) combined to mean “done by hand.” It was chosen by the developer of chiropractic care, Daniel David Palmer. In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, who later reported that his hearing had improved due to the change.
D.D. Palmer opened the first chiropractic school two years later, and in the century since, chiropractic professionals have used spinal adjustments to help people prevent and cope with back pain, carpal tunnel, muscle strain, headaches and migraines, and a variety of other physical ailments. Millions of people benefit from the work of Dr. Palmer today.
