Chiropractic Explained in Nelson Tasman

Chiropractor Nelson Tasman Dr. AJ, Neurostructural Chiropractor

Chiropractic in Nelson Tasman is a health care profession that naturally encourages the body’s inborn ability to heal itself, and deal with stressors better.

The human body works in a very fascinating and complex way, but we’re here to explain it to you in the easiest terms to understand. The brain has a tail that begins at the upper part of your neck and ends in your lower back, called the spinal cord. The brain and spinal cord are called the nervous system. The nervous system controls every function in your body – whether that’s your heart beating, your eyes blinking, having to use the toilet, dancing, and many more. The way this works is the brain sends messages to your body through the spinal cord and out of nerves.


Understanding Chiropractic in Nelson Tasman

We now understand how important the nervous system is. In fact, it is so important that it is the only system in your body that is fully protected by bones – your brain is protected by the skull, and your spinal cord is protected by individual bones called vertebrae.

In life we have many stressors – because that’s just a part of being human. These stressors can be mental (stressed from work, school etc.), physical (bad posture for a really long time, or a car accident/rugby tackle etc.), or through toxins (excessive caffeine, alcohol, junk food etc.).

These stressors begin to add up and build tension on our bodies. When too much tension is built, some vertebrae in our body stop moving the way they were designed to move.

When this happens, the messaging from the brain to the body and from the body to the brain gets interfered with. Therefore you would not be expressing yourself the way you should be, and this is why you may be feeling the way you feel right now. This is called a Vertebral Subluxation.

Chiropractors are the only health care professionals that are specifically trained to locate, and correct these vertebral subluxations to allow you to express yourself and feel much better.
