Chiropractic at Inspiration Center
Since its beginnings Chiropractic has been based on the fact that the nervous system effects the function of every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body. While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable, covered by 24 moving vertebrae. When these bones lose their normal motion or position, they can irritate the nervous system. This disrupts the function of the tissues or organs these nerves effect. Chiropractors refer to such as disruption as a vertebral subluxation.
Chiropractic physicians address these subluxations primarily through different types of spinal adjustments. There is a great deal of research that indicates that Chiropractic manipulative therapy and spinal adjustments are safe, effective, and cost effective. A summary of of some of these studies is available at the American Chiropractic Associate web site.
Dr. Hall at Inspiration Center specializes in low impact adjusting, Logan Basic Technique and the activator methods chiropractic technique (AMCT). The AMCT technique, in particular, has been the subject of numerous studies, which indicate that this technique works by a similar mechanism and has equivalent positive effects as high-impact adjustments.
