Chiropractic care involves entire
nervous system

Feb. 23, 2004

Q. My husband’s chiropractor says that chiropractic care can help other things besides back pain. I hope he is not trying to make him come in for more treatments than he needs. Is it true that it can help more than back pain?


A. Absolutely. Chiropractic is the science, art and philosophy of maintaining a healthy and free-flowing nervous system. Since every function carried out in the human body is channeled through the nervous system, it is vital that this pathway be kept free and clear of nerve interference.

Back pain has become the most popular reason for chiropractic office visits only because Americans as a society are obsessed with relief of symptoms instead of actually maintaining optimum health.

It just so happens that chiropractic can provide great relief for back pain, but the profession always was and always will be about prevention, not symptom relief. A nervous system that is not functioning properly can lead to a host of problems, such as headaches, stress, fatigue, muscle pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, neck pain, digestive problems, bowel and bladder dysfunction, asthma, shoulder pain, numbness, tingling, jaw pain, arm pain, dizziness, ringing in ears, foot pain, etc.

A nervous system that functions properly can free you of the above disorders. Since chiropractic attempts to keep the nervous system healthy, I suppose it can help much more than just back pain.
