CHIROPRACTIC TALK NO. 1
Chiropractors assume that in consequence of mal-positioned vertebral segments, the openings between the vertebrae through which the spinal nerves are impinged, and that such compressions are the cause of the majority of all diseases. This condition is called "subluxation" of the vertebral unit, which means that the articular surfaces of these bony units are more or less out of alignment.
To realign these bones the Chiropractor uses nothing but his bare hands to deliver a particular thrust, thus releasing the pressure of harder substances from the nerve trunks to restore normal nerve tension to individual nerve fibers. That this contention is correct has already been proven in thousands of instances. Men and women as well as children have come to Chiropractic adjustments as a last resort, often after their bodies have gone under severe pain in attempting to remove the effect rather than get at the cause of the trouble.
This Chiropractic has done for others and will do for you. Come up to our offices for consultation or spinal analysis and we will tell you just what can be done in your instance.
