Chiropractor Coogee - When do you need to see a Chiropractor
Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 9:59 amJust as there are often no visible warning signs of a pending stroke or heart attack, back problems may go undetected until sufficient damage occurs to create a painful wake-up call to the patient. People see their physicians and dentists for preventive check-ups. They regularly test their cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure because elevated levels aren't obvious to the individual. Women get mammograms and pap smears to watch for potential problems. But only a fraction of the population tends to their spinal health. A regular chiropractic check-up should be included in every person's wellness plan in order to avoid debilitating pain and irreversible degenerative damage.
The central nervous system - the brain and the spinal cord - is the first part of the body to form in the womb. Once developed, it sparks the development of the rest of the body. Nerves that branch out from the spinal cord carry electrical impulses from the brain to every cell in the body. When a vertebral misalignment, or subluxation, interferes with the nerve's ability to communicate these messages, those body parts - organs, joints, muscles, and tissue - respond with pain, stiffness, illness, or dysfunction.
So it makes sense to pay attention to this communication center in the body machine. Chiropractic focuses on maintaining a healthy spine, thus enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without invasive procedures and medications. A chiropractor is trained to identify vertebral subluxations that lead to a host of problems in the body, such as pinched nerves and "slipped" or ruptured discs.
