Chiropractors are more than "bone doctors" - they are Nerve Specialists.
You might say, if asked, that chiropractors "do something to a patient's bones and maybe muscles, in the spinal area." And that's correct, to some degree. Yet one has to understand the relationship between the bones of the skeletal system in general, and the spine in particular, and the nerves which are contained within this spinal column and other body articulations.
Your Spine - The "Avenue of Approach"
The science of healing always has what is known as an "avenue of approach" to wellness - the skin (via injection of drugs), the stomach (via swallowing of pills). These are avenues through which the drugs gain access to the body.
In chiropractic, the "avenue of approach" is primarily the spine because this is the framework which houses and protects the spinal cord, the "switchboard" of the nervous system. From the brain, nerves pass down the spinal cord and out to different parts of the body. The nerves leave the spinal cord through openings (IVF) between the spinal bones (vertebrae).
When these vertebrae get out of alignment, "interference" with the normal activity of the nerves can result. Since science has proven that every function of teh entire body is under teh control of the nervous system, this interference can disturb normal function throughout the body wherever these nerves are routed, and cause many conditions, suffering and pain. In fact, pain can never be experienced without some nerves being involved.
Nerve Impulses Control Every Part of You
Every organ, tissue, and cell is controlled by nerve impulses traveling from the brain to the various parts of the body.
- Nerves make possible all movement.
- Nerves transmit all sensations to the brain.
- Nerves make possible all sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing.
- Nerves maintain your balance and keep your body temperature at 98.6o.
- Nerves make your bowels move.
- Nerves control your heart, liver, lungs, spleen, pancreas, gall bladder, kidneys, stomach, male or female organs, skin, muscles, ligaments, etc.
Chiropractors Work With The Nerves
So, you see, a chiropractor works both directly and indirectly with the nerves and so is not just a "bone doctor" but a "nerve specialist."
Dr. Kellenberger, a Doctor of Chiropractic, has spent about 6 years in college, additional time in graduate study and any number of years in practice helping people regain their normal health - the natural way - without dangerous drugs or unnecessary surgery. All this training and experience means he is an authority on the nervous system and how it relates to its spinal "home."
If you have health problems, make an appointment to come in and see Dr. Kellenberger for a careful and professional examination to determine if yours is a case for chiropractic. It might well be the best move you have ever made - for the sake of your nerves and, therefore, for your total natural health!
