Health complaints are symptoms of a deeper underlying problem. Symptoms are the bodies way of telling you something is wrong. Like a smoke detector in your house, symptoms are the bodies alarm systems.

  • Pain offers powerful motivation to stop doing whatever is causing the pain. Fever is a natural body response and by increasing temperature, the body is giving itself an advantage over damaging infections
  • Muscle spasms limit movements that could otherwise damage joints and ligaments and/or pinch delicate nerves.

Sadly, many treatments offered in healthcare today only manage symptoms and have little impact on addressing the reason the symptoms exist. The treatment is directed towards the effect of the problem, not its cause.

  • Pain killers can reduce or even stop most pain.
  • Many medications are available to reduce fevers, relax muscle spasms, clear a runny nose, bring down swelling and ease an upset stomach.

The removal of symptoms may make one feel better but are you actually better? Too often the body is left vulnerable to further damage simply because “the alarm systems are turned off”. Amazingly and despite preoccupation with symptoms, the healing abilities of the body still manage to work in the background and resolve many body problems. Unfortunately, many more problems often become “hidden from view”, only to surface at some future date. When they do return, these problems are much worse and much much more difficult to treat. The house is on fire and you are trapped in it. So now what? The Chiropractors at Canadian Chiropractic are interested in identifying the reason the body is malfunctioning. Spinal misalignment from stresses such as injuries, repetitive activities, static postures, poor nutrition, lack of sleep, etc. result in interference with the signals traveling up and down the delicate nerves inside the spinal cord. These signals are carrying information about body processes to and from the brain. These signals include information from all of the muscles, the organs and even the immune system. Disruption of these signals results in interference of these important body processes and results in body dysfunction.

We experience the dysfunction by the onset of symptoms. The fire alarm starts to ring.Chiropractic treatment involves the removal of these misalignments. By tracing the symptoms to the areas of dysfunction and then correcting those spinal misalignments, the vital nerve signals are restored to normal. The body can then begin to heal itself and the symptoms subside. Correct the dysfunction, the symptoms disappear. Or better yet, check for malfunction before the onset of symptoms. Give your body a chance to function at full capacity all the time by starting a routine of regular Chiropractic care. Optimizing your health potential couldn’t be more simple.
