The spine holds our bodies in an upright posture, protects the delicate nerves that control our sensations and movements, and gives us a reasonable degree of mobility. Taking care of your spine is one of the most important things you can do for optimal health. Having regular spinal checkups will allow a chiropractor to find vertebral subluxations and fix them. These subluxations may be in the form of Misaligned vertebrae or Fixated vertebrae. Let's summarize these lessons. Chiropractors are specially trained in the most appropriate means of Diagnosis, Clinical Management, and Prevention, of  Neuromusculoskeletal disorders. This big word is just a combined name for nerves, muscles and bones.

What does a chiropractor do for patients? Chiropractors look for Subluxations and pinched nerves. Chiropractors also give advice on a wide range of health related topics. What is a Subluxation? Subluxations are Misaligned Vertebrae and Fixated Vertebrae.

The brain stem and spinal cord are the primary pathways to and from the brain. Messages sent back and forth, through these nerves, control the health and function of every cell and system of the body.      Many everyday things can cause spinal bones to lose their normal motion or position. Chiropractors find these abnormal fixations, or abnormal positions, and correct them. Copyright 1999 Dr. Victor Jean Ouellette All Rights Reserved
