These are the foundation and the main pillars that make Chiropractic a very distinctive profession. 1.- the body has the ability to heal itself 2.- the central nervous system (made up by the brain and spinal cord) controls every single function in the body. 3.- the central nerve system is protected by the skull and the spine (both made up by the hardest tissue: bone) 4.- the spinal cord which is an extension from the brain runs inside and along the spine 5.- the spine is made up usually by 24 moveable vertebrae and 9 fused (sacrum and coccyx) 6.- each vertebra articulates with a vertebra above and below and a disc separates them. 7.- peripheral nerves coming from the spinal cord passing through a "hold" made within two vertebrae and then go and spread through the entire body: organs, muscles, bones, cells and so on. 8.- the spine not only protects the central nerve system but also allows the body to move and gives support to other structures 9.- commonly our body and mind need to cope either with its internal environment or with the external environment 10.- commonly our body and mind are exposed to three main factors: Trauma; Toxins, Thoughts (emotions) 11.-health comes from within and not from outside 12.- because we do not feel pain at all it means we are healthy 13.- vertebra "subluxation" is a term used by chiropractic to defines when one vertebra or more have displaced from their normal position and have lost the normal mobility and/or they start to interfere with the flow of neural information coming from the brain towards the body or viceversa 14.- if the central nerve system is interfered then, it may lead to a symptom or to a problem 15.- pain is often the last thing we feel. When pain comes probably we may be facing a bigger problem 16.- chiropractic is a Greek words that means: "done by hands" 17.- a chiropractor is a health practitioner who specialises to analyse the spine looking for any sign of vertebra subluxation 18.- a chiropractor has the specific training, skills and finesse to delivery a specific manual adjustment to removed the vertebra subluxation (manual manipulation of the spine) 19.- the job of any chiropractor then is to check the spine, find a subluxation, adjust to remove the subluxation and leave the body to do what the body does best, heal 20.- the job of a chiropractor is then to promote the normal function of the body, promoting on you a healthy spine and allowing the central nerve system to work without interference thus, the body can works at its optimal level of functionality 21.- a chiropractor does not limit their job just to the spine or the central nervous system. Any joint or part of the body can be assessed 22.- a chiropractor also helps and gives advice for; posture, exercises In summary: Chiropractic is a health profession that specialises on the spine and the nervous system.
