Beginning Chiropactic Care
at Institute for Chiropractic Rehabilitation, PA

This article can help you understand Chiropractic and what to expect on your first visits to our office.

Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your nervous system controls the function of virtually every cell, tissue, organ and system of your entire body. Bending, lifting and turning depend upon the proper function of your nervous system, as does breathing, digestion or fighting off an infection. Your nervous system controls everything. That is why Dr. Fredericks is so interested in your nervous system.

Your body is controlled by the computer-like organ of the brain

The brain is protected by the skull and communicates with the tissues and organs of the body through the spinal cord which is housed in the moving bones of the spinal column. Pairs of nerve roots branch off the spinal cord from between each spinal joint to service the entire body. A feedback loop, back to the brain, monitors the function of every tissue and organ. However, spinal bones can lose their normal motion or position due to trauma, repetitive motions, poor posture, emotional stress, drugs, alcohol and many other causes. This can affect the nervous system control and function of associated organs and tissues. This is a common condition. Doctors of Chiropractic refer to this as the Vertebral Subluxation Complex, or more simply, a subluxation.
