 What is Chiropractic? Daniel David Palmer founded chiropractic in 1895, based on the assertion that health problems could be prevented or helped through spinal adjustments to correct what he termed vertebral subluxations. Both he and his son B.J. Palmer proposed that subluxations were misaligned vertebrae, which caused nerve interference. That hindered with transmissions of what he named Innate Intelligence and interrupted the proper flow of this Innate Intelligence from "above, down, inside, and out" (ADIO) to the organ, muscle, or tissue to which it travelled. Palmer related this to that of applying pressure to a garden hose that supplies a garden; relieve the pressure and the garden flourishes. Interrupt it and the body experiences "dis-ease" or disharmony, which would result in loss of health. How Does a Subluxation Affect Me? Simply put, a vertebral subluxation (or subluxation for short) is when one or more of your spinal vertebrae move out of position and cause irritation to the nervous system. Nerves relay vital messages to your entire body, so any pressure or irritation may cause malfunction, interference or a disturbance to those essential signals preventing your body from receiving proper nerve messages. This inhibits your body from functioning at an optimum level and can be the reason why dis-ease or disease develops in your body.  Is it Beneficial to Visit My Chiropractor Regularly? Yes. Chiropractors are doctors that undergo years of specific education to detect and correct subluxations. They are trained to care for your skeletal and nervous systems by focusing on locating subluxations in order to reduce or correct them. Although many people come to them initially as a way to get rid of pain, once they realise the long-term health benefits of Chiropractic, they become patients for life. Additionally, because Chiropractic Doctors understand the way your whole body works, they take interest in the root of your health problems and look at it from this Whole Health perspective. This includes diet, exercise and overall health habits.  Should I See My Chiropractor Even With No Symptoms? Yes. While many people see a Chiropractor to "fix" a pain or problem, Chiropractors have been trained for so much more. They understand the vital systems that make your entire body work and they want those systems to perform optimally so that you are in the best state of health everyday. So often, many of the pain and problems that people see a Chiropractor for can or could have been prevented with an on-going health regime. At the Pim Natural Health Centre, your health comes first. We believe that the best time to have an assessment is when you have no symptoms because most symptoms are the end stage of a disease process. The earlier you see a Chiropractor, the easier it is to address, improve, and maintain your good health. While we help many people with accidents and unforseen problems every day, our main focus is prevention, health and wellness.
