Chiropractics is a science based on the principle that a disease is a natural consequence of the interruption of the nerve flow, conditioned by the skeletal muscular imbalances. Chiropractics means “done with your hands” or simply “hand manipulation”. It is the art of using precisely targeted and properly measured force on the affected joints.

Nerves that are linked to a lesser extent to the brain and a greater extent to the spinal cord, form an integral part of the nervous system. The spinal cord is a conduit for the transfer of “neural information” from the brain to the nerves themselves. When the flow is interrupted in any way, there is a change and disturbance in the functioning of the organism.

The cause of a disorder may be of chemical origin (improper diet, toxins, stress, inflammation…), however, very often the cause are mechanical problems (distracted vertebrae position…).

A chiropractor needs to identify the exact place of the problem, i.e. the cause of the problem. Treating the cause will lead to the removal or at least the alleviation of the ailment.

From the Chinese point of view, imbalances that persist for long periods of time in the body may be the cause of a problem. The reactions of the body can clearly be spotted during the day, such as increased secretion, fatigue, temperature and/or emotional reactions. These kind of reactions are desirable because it shows that the process has started.

Furthermore, effects of traditional Chinese medicine is explored and confirmed in Western methods (e.g. rapid stimulus and response, improvement of the quality of the blood and lymph flow as well as the improvement of the performance of the digestive system…). Regular treatments lead to the easing of the pain. The ailment is identified and can therefore be treated promptly. Therapy is an important preventive measure that contributes to the quality of life and well-being.
