Our Chiropractic Philosophy in Salinas CA

Chiropractic Salinas CA Our Philosophy

What is Chiropractic care? To fully explain the science, philosophy and art of chiropractic care in Salinas CA could take hours of engaging conversation and fill many books. Here is our attempt to quickly describe the essence behind the chiropractic philosophy.

“Chiropractic care is not pain relief. It is the optimization of your body’s ability to communicate and manage itself.”


The Science Behind Salinas CA Chiropractic

Let’s establish a few points that will make the benefit of chiropractic care seem clearer.

  • Your brain is the computer in your body, sending messages to its muscles and organs and controlling everything.
  • Your Central Nervous System (CNS) is the communication network, relaying these messages to and from the organs in the body and your brain.
  • Your CNS is extremely delicate and is protected in large part by our spine.
  • If the spine is not moving freely, it is in a state of subluxation.
  • The state of subluxation means that two or more vertebrae are out of line, and can cause interference in the nervous system, not allowing the communication to flow freely from the organs to the brain.
  • This subluxation can cause degeneration of the spine and over time causes symptoms in the body.
  • The symptoms can be varied, depending on where in the spine the subluxation has ocurred. They can take the form of seemingly minor ailments such as headaches, fevers, and trouble sleeping, to major symptoms like pins and needles, sciatica, numbness, and chronic pain.

Where Chiropractic Care fits in

The chiropractic philosophy points out that our body has an innate intelligence that tells itself how to heal. For example, when you cut your finger, your body knows how to heal the cut by itself. When you get a cold, the body defends itself against the virus. Your body can do this all by itself.

Chiropractic care removes nerve interference and allows the body to function at it’s best, including healing itself. Chiropractic care is NOT pain relief. It is the optimization of your body’s ability to communicate and manage itself.
