Welcome to New Beginnings Chiropractic

 Chiropractic is a healthcare profession which specializes in the health and function of the spine and nervous system. The spine is there to protect the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system. The spine is like a set of armor made up of segments so that it can bend and move naturally with the body. A spinal segment consists ofd two vertebrae and the joints that connect them. There is a disc between each vertebra that acts as a cushion.

Underneath that armor, a whole lot is happening. Messages travel from around the body, up the spinal cord, and into the brain. The brain processes those messages and sends replies back down the spinal cord to tell the body how to respond. The central nervous system is one big information highway, and it carries vital messages to every part of your body.
And because of the close relationship between the spine and the nervous system, everyday strains can actually impact the flow of information and communication between the brain and the body.(2) Messages may not be delivered to the brain, or they may be inaccurate.(3) By making fast, gentle adjustments to the spine, chiropractors restore its natural movement.
Because of this focus on the spine, many people think chiropractors can only help with back pain, neck pain, and headaches. They can often help with these issues, but there is much more to chiropractic than just pain relief. Chiropractic care is about total health and wellbeing. Sometimes, the wear and tear of everyday life can impact the spine and cause spinal segments to move in a way that is different to normal – in a dysfunctional way.(1) That wear and tear can happen gradually, such as from bad posture, or it can happen suddenly, which is common with sports injuries.(1)  If the central nervous system is like the engine of your body, a chiropractor acts like a mechanic, tuning the spine and central nervous system so that your body can run like a race car.
