What is Chiropractic?
At Harding Holistics, we believe in a natural and holistic approach to health, and chiropractic care is at the core of our philosophy. Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. You may think of your nervous system like the electrical system of your body. Much like a regular fuse box, the nervous system controls and coordinates all organs and structures of the human body. When tension and stress build up in an area of the spine, it creates interference and overloads the nerve or nerves nearby, creating what is known as a subluxation. This acts similar to a blown fuse in your house. By finding and correcting subluxations in your spine, specific chiropractic adjustments help restore power and function to those parts of the body!
Core Principles of Chiropractic Care
Spinal Health: The spine plays a crucial role in overall well-being, as it houses the nervous system, which controls bodily functions.
Holistic Approach: Chiropractic emphasizes a whole-body approach to health, addressing lifestyle, nutrition, and movement to promote wellness.
Drug-Free & Non-Invasive: Chiropractic treatments rely on natural methods such as manual adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle guidance.
Common Chiropractic Treatments
Spinal Adjustments: Gentle, controlled force applied to joints to improve mobility and reduce pain.
Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques like massage and stretching to alleviate muscle tension and improve circulation.
Corrective Exercises: Specific movements designed to strengthen muscles and support spinal health.
Lifestyle & Nutritional Advice: Guidance on posture, ergonomics, diet, and exercise for overall well-being.
