One question I often get asked as a chiropractor; What is Chiropractic? There is a enormous lack of understanding on what chiropractic is? BJ Palmer, the founder of Chiropractic developed the term Above-Down-Inside-Out. This one term helps to explain what chiropractic is.
Chiropractors believe that the body can heal itself from the inside-out, if there is not interference. Interference is most commonly caused by what chiropractors call a subluxation. A subluxation is a loss of motion or a misalignment of a joint in the spine. A subluxation will affect how well the nerves function. Subluxations can be caused by physical stress (over use injury), chemical stress (poor diet), or psychological stress (stress in your life). Chiropractors detect the subluxations and correct them with a chiropractic adjustment so that the body can begin to heal itself from the inside out.
The Above Down principal refers to that principal that the brain is the master control of the nervous system. In order to begin healing the nerve signals in the brain need to be functioning properly so that the nerves that supply the body can function properly. This is why chiropractic care is not only effective for treating low back pain, neck pain, and headaches but it has also been shown to help with lowering blood pressure, improving asthma, and digestion. The controller of the body the nervous system is functioning properly and therefore the entire body can function correctly.
So if you sick and tired of dealing with the typical medical method of treatment which is outside-in then give my office a call at (703) 912-7822 or learn more about chiropractic at my website http://www.NovaChiroWellness.com.

The human body has an incredible ability to heal its self when maintained properly.
Without the use of surgery or the regular intake of medication, Chiropractic therapy can stimulate the body to heal itself in the way nature intended.
