Chiropractic Helps the Body Heal Itself

People come to Homberg Chiropractic, your Knoxville chiropractor, for a number of reasons, most of which we can help resolve. Chiropractic was founded on the basis that the central nervous system controls and directs every other function of the body. Therefore, by influencing the nervous system, we can affect every other aspect of the body and being. We all place stress on our bodies and systems daily, in the form of physical stress, chemical stress, or mental / emotional stress. The central nervous system is directly responsible for dealing with these stressors, while maintaining health and balance in our body.

The stress of daily life has negative effects on the body that build up over time. These stressors can often become too much for the nervous system to handle and some part of the system becomes out of balance. This may come in the form of physical breakdown, such as tendonitis in the shoulder from working on a computer all day; chemical breakdown, for example you can't get going in the morning without caffeine; or mental / emotional breakdown, meaning you can’t cope with the stress from work or family issues.

The nervous system needs help to maintain balance within our bodies and maintain health. For the nervous system to maintain health, it must be able to easily and effectively communicate with the rest of the body. This is where chiropractic comes in. Chiropractors align the vertebrae in the spine and restore proper motion to the vertebral joints to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves. By removing this interference, the brain is better able to communicate with the rest of the body. The nervous system can express itself freely and the body can achieve optimal health.

There are many reasons to visit us and going only when you have pain is like waiting until your car won’t start before you perform maintenance on it. The damage has been done and it may be tough to correct. The same is true for your spine and your nervous system. Regular adjustments can help maintain and prevent extra, more costly damage from being done.

Chiropractic not only helps the body heal itself and better deal with the stresses of daily life, but it can improve all aspects of your overall health. Preventing disease is always smarter than waiting for a breakdown and then trying to fix it.
