Little Chiropractic - Gil Little

Most people believe that chiropractic is for back pain only. The truth is that chiropractic care is an effective treatment for many conditions that have nothing to do with the back except in body location. Chiropractors deal with the nervous system which includes the brain and nerves. Because the nerves mostly exit the spinal column and since the nerve root is the primary focus of chiropractors, this is why most people think that chiropractors are back doctors.

The nerves are responsible for every sensation and most every function in the body, including, to a degree, the immune responses to pathogens (viruses and other germs).

Chiropractors know that adjustments on regular basis insure health in much the same way as eating right, getting enough sleep and exercise does. We are bombarded daily by all sorts of disease pathogens, but have the ability, if living healthy, to fight off these diseases. If we didn't have this ability, we would always be sick.

It's when we stay out late too often, eat junk food and don't take care of ourselves in general that we seem to come down with something. It is the persons that take care of themselves who never seem to get sick.
