<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The practice of chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between your spine and your nervous system. ; The spine is the structure, and the nervous system is the function. ; Chiropractic believes these two systems work in unison to keep and then restore your body’s health. ; The word “chiropractic” is taken from Greek, and means “done by hand”. ; This is exactly how chiropractic care works. ; The chiropractor uses his or her hands to manipulate your body, and help it to heal itself. ; It is the branch of the health sciences which focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system. ; That’s a very big word to simply say how your spine and nervous system work together. ; The spine is the highway for your central nervous system; if the highway is blocked or traffic is jammed, they are usually able healers. Many cultures, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Chinese, and even the Africans have used some form of chiropractic care for hundreds of years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Modern alternative medicine and holistic healers believe in the power of the energy that flows through our bodies; this energy radiates from our mind as well. ; It is believed to be the chief from of transportation for our body’s nervous system to carry out communication.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Acupuncture is one of the key components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and operates on the premise that the body is divided into two opposing and inseparable forces, the yin and yang. ; Yin represents the cold, slow, or passive principle, and yang represents the hot, excited or active principle. ; According to TCM health is achieved by maintaining a balance state of the yin and yang. ; This is done through the vital pathways or meridians that allow for the flow of qi, or vital energy. ; The vital energy flow occurs along pathways known as meridians. These meridians connect over 2,000 acupuncture points along the body. ; There are 12 main meridians, and 8 secondary meridians. ; Although traditional western medicine does not completely understand how acupuncture works, the proof that it does work has been shown in several studies conducted by western medical facilities</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, in the last few years, traditional western medicine has come to accept the role that your mind, body and soul have in keeping each other healthy, during daily processes, or recovering from surgery. ; Almost every form of healing accepts and incorporates the fact that our bodies have a “vital energy force” that flows through, from top to bottom. ; This “life force” as some refer to the energy, helps to keep us connected, mind, body, and soul. ; To come to the understanding, as modern medicine finally has, that there are certain aspects of our health that we cannot place neatly in a physical process, has been a difficult revelation for believers of the purely scientific approaches to healing and medicine.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s impossible to separate the mind from the body, or the body from the soul. ; Their interconnectivity is the basis for our life’s meaning and existence. ; It is because of this connection, that we are able to heal ourselves in the beginning.</p>
