Have you heard of the Source of Life? The Central Nervous System? Atlas?

The nervous system’s purpose is to control and coordinate the function of ALL tissues, organs and systems in the body. Some of the phrases that describe the human spine include:

• Source of Life because it carries every bit of energy to every organ and muscle in our bodies, signals from the brain instructions.
• Central nervous system with the spinal cord running through the protection of the spines structure with nerves running out through the channels in the spine to reach the organs and muscles they serve.
• Atlas, central in holding up the world, holding up the head, the base that swivels and flexs while keeping our heads “screwed” on right!

Is it important to you to find out more about the vital functions the spine is responsible for?

Foti Chiropractic is Webster Technique Certified - PreNatal Care for Natural Childbirth

A specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nervous system and balances maternal pelvic muscles and ligaments. This in turn reduces torsion in the uterus, a cause of intra-uterine constraint of the baby and allows for optimal fetal positioning in preparation for birth.

Dr. Larry Webster, Founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association discovered this technique as a safe means to restore proper pelvic balance and function for pregnant mothers. In expectant mothers presenting breech, there has been a high reported success rate of the baby turning to the normal vertex position. This technique has been successfully used in women whose babies present transverse and posterior as well. It has also successfully used with twins. Any position of the baby other than ROA may indicate the presence of sacral subluxation and therefore intrauterine constraint. At no time should this technique be interpreted as an obstetric, "breech turning" technique.

Chiropractic A Return To Health - Understanding Chiropractic Reaction

When undergoing chiropractic adjustments to re-align and to re-set the vertebrae that are out of place, it is not unusual to experience varying degrees of discomfort and symptomatic disturbances. These discomforts are part of what we term REACTION.

Reaction is the body’s response to an adjustment. An adjustment enables the spinal column to normalize itself. Following an adjustment, irritation of nerves is reduced, muscle tonicity is normalized, discs are re-shaped to provide the normal cushioning between vertebrae, and tension on cartilage caused by stress is lessened.

Reaction occurs most commonly between the third and tenth adjustment, but may vary with the individual and the severity of his condition. When and if reaction occurs it may last from one to several days, but in the vast majority of cases diminishes in two to three days. Approximately 50% of the chiropractic patients do experience reaction, so if you are among this group there is no cause for alarm.

Actually, reaction is a healthy change occurring within the body. The mechanics of the change can best be understood by explaining that the spine is being adjusted to a normal position. Therefore, there is an element of physical change which involves bones, muscles, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, connective tissue, and cartilage. All of these tissues and structures must adapt to the new, normal position. And this adaption process, which is part of the change to a healthier condition in the body, is often accompanied by reaction.

Keep in mind that any reaction following a chiropractic adjustment is due to the removing of obstructions caused by pressure upon the spinal nerves, and is, in fact, a sure sign that the normal flow of nerve energy is being restored to the affected areas. In that sense then we can say that REACTION is simply another way of saying REACTIVATION, which is Nature’s way of telling you that you are getting well!
