Chiropractic comes from the Greek work chiropraktikos, meaning "Effective treatment by hands." Chiropractic is the largest natural healing art in the world. Chiropractic is the philosophy, art, and science which concerns itself with the relationship between structure and function of the human body, as that relationship may affect the restoration and preservation of health. It is based on the understanding that there is no healing force outside the body. Think about it, drugs and surgery don't really heal the body. They may remove a harmful component that is causing disease but it's the body that heals, repairs tissues, and restores normal function. WHY CHIROPRACTIC WORKS At the center of all this healing is the nervous system, the brain and spinal cord and the nerves extending out from the spine to all parts of the body, acting as the master control for all of the body. The nervous system controls every function performed by the body directly or indirectly. Accidents, falls, overexertion, nutrition, stress, tension, and countless other factors can result in displacement or derangement of the spine, also known as a SUBLUXATION to chiropractors. These subluxation cause irritation and possible damage to the spinal nerve roots. The irritation, while often painless, can at times cause malfunctions in the body by interfering with the brain-body connection. Dr. Rosania, as a doctor of chiropractic, is trained to detect and remove these subluxations allowing your body to improve the communication within. Thus improving the patients healing abilities, function, physical and mental health. HOW THE BODY IS CONNECTED Your spinal column or "backbone" is made up of 24 bones, called vertebrae. There are 7 vertebrae in the neck or Cervical Spine, 12 vertebrae in the mid back or Thoracic Spine, and 5 vertebrae in the low back or Lumbar Spine. There are 2 bones at the end of the column that make up your tailbone, the Scrum and Coccyx. These bones are separated by DISCS. Within this spinal column is your spinal cord that connects your brain to your body. Nerves enter and exit the spinal column through gaps between the bones. The following is a list of what parts of the body receive information and are affected from what level of the spine. Upper Neck, The first 2 bones. (Cervical Spine) Click here for a visual demonstration (use the back button to return to this page) The nerves that exit the spine from the first 2 vertebrae send signal back and fourth to the head, face, upper neck, inner & middle ear, sympathetic nervous system*, sinuses, eyes, auditory nerves, pituitary gland, scalp, brain, ears, mastoid bones, tongue, forehead, and heart. *(Sympathetic nervous system - is made up from a group of nerves, from all areas of the spine that join together to form a "chain" out side the spinal cord. This chain helps maintain the proper function of your internal organs. It affects structures in the neck, head, glands and blood vessels of the brain. It also affects the immune system, bone growth, fat metabolism, reaction to stress and brain function.) Mid/Lower Neck (Cervical Spine) Click here for a visual demonstration (use the back button to return to this page) The nerves that exit the spine from the next 5 vertebrae in the neck send signals back and fourth to the neck, neck glands, neck muscles, vocal cords, mucus membranes, thyroid, tonsils, mouth, lips, teeth, cheeks, outer ear, Eustachian tubes, nose, lungs, Brachial Plexus*, shoulders, bursa in the shoulders, and elbows. *(Brachial Plexus - much like the sympathetic chain is made up of several nerves that exit the spine in the neck and the upper part of the mid back. These nerves form the radial nerve, ulnar nerve, median nerve along with the other nerves that go to the muscles, joints and structures of the shoulder and arms al the way down to the wrist, hand and fingers. It is irritation to the median nerve that is the problem with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.) Mid Back (Thoracic Spine) Click here for a visual demonstration (use the back button to return to this page) The nerves that exit the spine from the next 12 vertebrae send signal back and fourth to the arms, hands, wrists, fingers, heart (including its valves and covering), coronary arteries, chest, breast, esophagus, trachea, lungs, bronchial tubes, gallbladder, liver, common duct, solar plexus, stomach, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, adrenal glands, appendix, small intestines, large intestines, testes, ovaries, uterus, circulation, lymph circulation, and more. Lower Back (Lumbar Spine) Click here for a visual demonstration (use the back button to return to this page) The nerves that exit the spine from the next 5 vertebrae send signal back and fourth to the large intestines, inguinal rings, appendix, abdomen, bladder, prostate gland, sex organs, uterus, muscles of the lower back, sciatic nerve, legs, ankles, feet, Sacral Plexus* and more. Tailbone, Sacrum and Coccyx Click here for a visual demonstration (use the back button to return to this page) The nerves that exit the tail bones send signals back and fourth to the hip bones, tail bone, Sacral Plexus*, buttocks, rectum, anus, sex organs, genitalia, urinary bladder, ureter, and prostate. *(Sacral Plexus - much like the Brachial plexus is made up of several nerves that exit the spine in the Lumbar spine and the Scrum. These nerves form the sciatic nerve as well as other nerves that go to the muscles, joints, and other structures of the legs down to the toes.)   By eliminating or reducing the Subluxation though chiropractic manipulation you are able to effect certain areas of the body and their function. Thus allowing the body to operate more efficiently and more comfortably. This is why chiropractic care has a reputation of healing everything from A to Z. It is Dr. Rosania belief that if you are experiencing disease in your body, that is the result of the subluxation, then by correcting that subluxation you correct the problem. If however you have a problem that is not caused by a subluxation, correcting any subluxations in the body may not correct the problem. It will, however, put your body in an optimum state to operate and heal more efficiently. Therefore, ANY problem can be improved with a better functioning nervous system. Chiropractic helps the nervous system function better by removing displacement or derangement in the spine that may be preventing you from achieving optimum health.
