It's All About The Function

Chiropractic works to remove nerve interference. When there is pressure put onto a nerve as a result of swelling or inflammation, the nerve impulses are reduced. It's very similar to a kink in a water hose. If nerve impulses are reduced, this will inhibit the function of whatever that nerve is trying to control. If a tissue is not functioning for long enough, then the body will alert you that there exists a problem that needs correction. The way it alerts you is by signals we commonly refer to as symptoms. Knowing this, it should make no sense to simply cover up the symptom. The goal should be to correct the problem by removing pressure from the nerve. This would allow impulses to flow freely throughout the nervous system. In accomplishing that, your body would turn off the signal (symptom) and you would be healthier. This is how Chiropractic works.
