Understanding The Three Principles Of Chiropractic Care.

Chiropractic care is widely used throughout different countries of the world to treat both chronic and acute pain, prevent and treat injury.

Chiropractors are trained to recommend exercises to treat and rehabilitate health conditions related to the bones, muscles, and joints, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle advice to enhance overall wellness.

In this blog, we will be looking at three (3)  fundamental principles that help you understand Chiropractic Care, what it does, and how it functions:

 

1- Self Repair and Body Balance:

This chiropractic principle is based on the idea that the body naturally and regularly aims at restoring balance across all systems. It affirms that the different systems of the body are supposed to work collectively and that they actively and effectively improve this balance with self-repair.

Spinal decompression is one of the chiropractic techniques that reflects the principle of self-repair and body balance. By gently stretching the spine and taking the pressure off the discs, spinal decompression allows blood and nutrients to flow to the injured part of the back, assisting in the body’s natural self-balancing and self-repair functions.

 

2- The Essence of Proper Structure and Proper Function:

The second chiropractic principle is the essence of proper structure and proper function, and it is a commonly known idea. It is important to note that the proper functioning of a system depends on it having a proper structure.

To visualize this idea, think of the structural integrity of a skyscraper,  If one part of the structure is damaged or weakened, the structural integrity of the entire building and its functions will be affected.  Likewise, if your body’s physical structure is not the way it’s supposed to be, your body cannot function like it’s supposed to.

This particular principle is used throughout all chiropractic techniques. Restoring the body’s structural integrity is an essential part of chiropractic that greatly influences the body’s overall health and wellness.

 

3- Overall Wellness Can Be Achieved Without Drugs or Surgery:

This third chiropractic principle is one of the major reasons why a lot of people seek out chiropractic care. Spinal adjustments are the most common chiropractic technique that people think of when they think of chiropractic, but this principle is actually seen in all forms of chiropractic care.

With various types of therapeutic and chiropractic techniques, pain and injury can often be treated without using drugs or surgery.

Many people sort for drug-free treatments and solutions that work and do not only treat the symptoms. Chiropractic Care aims at providing solutions that treat the entire body without relying on drugs or surgery as quick fixes.

Although chiropractic care is also regularly used in conjunction with other forms of treatment, including drugs and surgery, it is never focused on those solutions as the primary form of its treatment.
