Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is a form of holistic and complimentary alternative medicine (CAM) that is based upon the belief and understanding that general health and wellness depends in large part upon the proper function of the nervous system. As a chiropractic physician, Dr. Gibson believes in removing interference from the nervous system through manipulation of the spine, muscles, joints and tissue by hand. Chiropractic care subsequently allows each bodily system to properly communicate with the brain and in many cases allows the body to heal itself.
What makes chiropractic care unique is the examination of the spine to evaluate body function. The spinal column, which starts at the base of the skull and extends through the center of the hips, is comprised of a series of movable bones often referred to as vertebrae and disks. The spinal column also includes the spinal cord and thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves that extend from the spine to the brain. The nerves leave the spine and form a complicated path of sensory receptors that extend throughout the entire body transferring information on everything that happens in an individual’s environment back to the brain for interpretation. The brain then formulates a response, and sends messages back to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, organs, and every tissue and cell to orchestrate and maintain normal homeostatic control, i.e. optimal health. These nerves influence every living tissue and cell in the body which is what makes Chiropractic care so beneficial.
Any interference to these nerves, which can be caused by numerous forms of physical trauma and environmental stressors, can cause malfunctions in the human body. Chiropractic teaches that reducing or eliminating the interference caused by these traumas or stressors can allow the body to operate more efficiently while also relieving any musculoskeletal pain. This methodology, combined with an emphasis on nutrition, exercise, diet and homeopathic remedies, promotes a healthy lifestyle as well as physical and mental health. Chiropractic care is viewed as a primary piece of complimentary alternative medicine.
