Harbour Family Chiropractic
So what is Chiropractic all about…
A frequent motivation for seeking Chiropractic is pain or injury management. Pain is often a symptom of a larger underlying issue within the body and Harbour Family Chiropractic works with clients to identify the root cause and develop a strategic approach to regaining health and wellbeing….Chiropractors often look for what they call “Subluxations” in the spine.
“What Chiropractors mean by the term vertebral subluxation is a dysfunctional area in the spine that negatively affects health and wellbeing, due to its influence on the nervous system. The vertebral subluxation is not so much the condition of a bone being out of place; it is more that a bone is functioning or moving in a less than ideal way – in a manner that is not ‘normal’ for the body. One key focus of Chiropractic care is to DETECT and CORRECT vertebral subluxations, in order to restore the healthy function of the spine and nervous system. This in turn enables the body to function at its optimal potential. The segments that chiropractors choose to ADJUST will often have corresponding muscle tightness and tenderness if pushed upon. These abnormalities, among others, indicate the presence of a vertebral subluxation in a specific location of the spine”
