What Is Chiropractic?
By Dr. Chris
Frykman
Shakope, MN
The term "Chiropractic"
comes from the Greek words "cheiro and praktikos"
meaning "done by hand." Chiropractic care is centered on
the philosophy that the human body has the ability to
heal itself when it is given the right opportunity and
circumstances.
The chiropractic profession is the most popular natural
health care choice in the United States. Chiropractic
healthcare is a branch of the healing arts that offers
the public a natural drugless approach to improving the
health and function of the human body.
Here's how it works: The nervous system controls
and coordinates the function of every cell, tissue, and
organ in the body.
Interference to the nervous system causes the body to
malfunction and develop symptoms. The spine, when
unhealthy, is the most common structural cause of
interference to the nervous system. This is called a
vertebral (spinal) subluxation.
When you have subluxations in your spine, the spinal
bones cause interference to your nervous system.
Chiropractors locate the areas of the spine that are
subluxated and perform adjustments (treatments) to heal
the subluxations and remove the interference to the
nervous system.
What makes chiropractic care different is the approach
to your health problem. As a chiropractor, Dr. Chris
Frykman uses these techniques to help you achieve your
optimal health conditions and improve the overall health
of your body. This goes beyond merely covering up your
symptoms, as can happen all to often in the western
health care (probably more appropriately termed disease
care) model.
The Vibrant Potential approach to your health is to heal
the cause of your health problems, improve your
overall health, and then work to keep you as healthy as
possible for the rest of your life.
