Chiropractic terminology
Chiropractic was found in 1895, Based on science which proved that nerve system control every function of body cells, organ, and body systems. That’s why chiropractor focused on nerve system. Brain and Spinal Cord are protected by skull and spine. So if one of spine vertebra is lacking of movement then it will irritate the nerve system, this irritation will cause lack of neuron supply to tissue and organ. This will cause the function of tissue and organs are not optimal. For example, asymmetric muscle development, fatigue muscle. This is called "Vertebra Subluxation Complex". Subluxation is where bone vertebra can not move normally.

Chiropractic adjustment
Chiropractor will examine thoroughly to know the vertebra functions, muscle and nerves functions. If from the examination shows that there was Subluxation, then it need to do the chiropractic adjustment.

Adjustment is helping bone and vertebra to be at normal position, normalize the movement and cure the irritation which sometimes cause pain and organ malfunction if it hol in a long time.

There are many ways to adjust the back spine. Chiropractors use their hand or tools that designed to adjust the vertebra. A chiropractor also adjusts their technique with patients’ ages and also depends to the case. Adjustment helps normalize the function of the spine and prevent the tissue damage in the future. If the nerve function works normally, this will help the body to heal itself.

How do we know that vertebra movement are lacking?
- Asymmetric body posture, such as different height on shoulder or waist.
- Tensed / stiff neck.
- pain or tense on part of the body
- pain on several position or when doing activities
- pain in the morning or feel pain even after long resting

Things that cause subluxation
- sleeping, sitting, standing not in the proper position
- birth process
- trauma/ accident
- lift things with wrong position
- inappropriate exercise
- subluxation doesn’t always cause pain in the first time, and sometimes people doesn’t realize it and ignore it. But subluxation will cause greater damage to the body and that time people have just realized it.
Research shows that body has it own way to heal itself. By adjusting the body system (in this case vertebra and nerve) then it makes the body to work optimally.
