Who is a chiropractor and what does he do? There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the profession of a active release technique Culver City with some of the stories varying from the ignorantly absurd to the downright mythical. Some opinions have it that chiropractic care can cure headaches, indigestion, eye problems and bile problems while others can vouch for its cure of tinnitus (ringing in the ear) and even incessant bedwetting.
Jokes aside, can a chiropractor really do all that? The answer to that is definitely a resounding no.

What chiropractors do and specialize in is the integrity of the nervous system through the function of the spine. To be healthy means hundred percent function of everything in the human body, because if everything in the body is functioning at a hundred percent then there will be no room for sickness.
The human body is a beauty composed of over fifty to seventy trillion cells, all functioning in tandem 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (at least, till you die). This masterpiece keeps you breathing when you sleep at night, circulates the blood in your body through your beating heart while taking that jog and is digesting the food you ate an hour or so ago. How does the body coordinate all these parts and functions like a well-oiled machine or a well-programed computer? The secret behind all these is the brain, a major player in the body's nervous system.

Subluxation simply means a misalignment or breach in the spine. In such situations, if the brain is trying to send a signal to your stomach to digest what you are eating right now, and there is a subluxation or misalignment present in your spinal column, this might prevent the signal from reaching your stomach via the connecting nerves. This is where the practitioner of this system of complementary medicine comes in as he works in correcting the breach caused by the subluxation.
With this problem, the chiropractor will have to look at your spine to diagnose if you have subluxation in the first place. If it is determined to be a subluxation problem, the chiropractor will then treat by using safe and effective measures to remove the pressure on the offending nerve. If all goes well, you can get back to the benefits of a fully functional body.
A working vitalized nervous system is the key to maintaining optimum health. You can't have a 100% function in your body if you have interferences in the nerves coming from your spinal column.
