The Neurological Significance of Chiropractic

A postural problem is often due to the wrong neuromusculat feedback sent to the brain and not just the lack of strenght of a ponctual tear or elongation of a muscle fiber. Chiropratice can instantly prove that with simple adjustments. When the right feedback is sent, the strenght instantly comes back. They can also temporarily inhibit certain responses with a simple touch (not an adjustment) to better identify the proper adjustments. Their goal is to give back the proper neuromuscular feedback to their patients. The means used varies between skeletal adjustments, active release techniques, isometric testing, etc.

Chiropractic looks for and release the neurological interferences manifesting in vertebral subluxations. Yes we are nerve doctors!

Next we prescribe meds!...........lets not go the way of the Osteopaths a few decades back. Some DC's still want to be medi-practors, let them go. I do not want to be attached to the Allopathic approach, as it is so flawed!

Practicing Chiropractic without involving the NS is like thinking without involving you r brain. But somehow certain people have manged just that.

You can't touch the body without stimulating nerves. The science state that chiropractic improves afferent nervous system firing to the brain. There is no way to seperate chiropractic from neurology

delete Can anyone tell me how "musculoskeletal" can exist without neurological? It is due to the compartmentalization of Medicine that we have lost the holistic ideology of health and healthcare.

A company called Flex Pharma goes public and raises more than $80 million after announcing that it's supplement targets neural pathways associated with cramping. And here we are wanting to remove our relationship with the nervous system. Does anyone else see the absurdity here.

Chiropractic without the nervous system is not chiropractic!

This is a basic error, and indeed the neurological components of "musculoskeletal" conditions is common across all manual therapy professions even if historically most vocally the Chiropractic profession.

As a practicing chiropractor, I see daily the neurological effects of what I do with my patients. To take that aspect away from our profession turns us into glorified massage therapists, which we most definitely are not. Please continue to label us as neuromuscular specialists.

It's basic anatomy and physiology that chiropractic care influences neurological component.

Taking away the Neuro component in what we do is ridiculous. Whether you practice in a pain based MSK model or a vitalistic approach; both use the NERVOUS SYSTEM to accomplish their end goal. As a paying member of OCA/CCA I would like my way of practice recognized, not just a pain based model of care.

The research that shows chiropractic treatments have a profound effect on the nervous system is overwhelming. Using chiropractic to treat musculoskeletal problems only is like using the most powerful computer to tell the time

Neurological effects of Chiropractic care are undeniable. The research is budding but are all showing the effects of Chirorpactic care on other parts of health besides MSK
