Chiropractic care is a safe and effective treatment that avoids invasive procedures, unnecessary surgeries and addictive drugs. Chiropractic is based on a scientific fact that your body is a self-healing organism. The brain, spinal cord and nerves control every function of the body. The skull protects the brain's tissues. The moving spinal bones – vertebrae - protect the communication pathways of the organs throughout the body. A common interference to the nervous system is a vertebral subluxation of the 24 movable bones of the spinal column.

A vertebral subluxation can irritate or impair the function of the nervous system and nerve impulses. The vertebral subluxation causes changes to the surrounding ligaments, muscles, and cells and creates pressure on your nervous system. This in turn effects the flow of information from the brain to the body and vice versa. Chiropractic is an art, a science and has its own philosophy.

The Art

Dr Coom has studied over a six year period to master the adjusting "art" of chiropractic which includes a comprehensive evaluation, a review of health history, a clear diagnosis and a recommended specific adjustment plan customized for each patient. This includes specific spinal adjustments. An adjustment describes ways and techniques of applying directed and controlled pressure to restore spinal segments to a more normal position and motion, aiding in increased flexibility, increased immunological function and increased life energy.

The Science

Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system (brain and spinal cord) controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. Your brain is your computer, your spinal cord is the information highway, and your spinal vertebrae, house nerves, arteries and veins are the links to your organs, such as the heart, lungs, intestines, and reproductive organs. The disruption of the function of these tissues or organs and the nerve control is called Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Chiropractic is the science of finding these areas of spinal malfunction.

The Philosophy

Chiropractic philosophy recognizes that there is an innate ability of the body to heal itself — as long as there is no interference. For example, if you scratch yourself, your body will heal itself to the best of its ability without the use of a bandage. The chiropractor does not heal you. Dr Coom aids your body to be put in the correct environment to heal itself. Dr Coom's main purpose is to reduce interference to your inborn, innate healing ability.

How does Chiropractic work?

Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn ability to be healthy. When under the proper control of your nervous system, all the cells, tissues and organs of your body are designed to resist disease and poor health. Chiropractic care is based on locating and removing interferences to your natural healthy harmonious state. When vertebral subluxations are present in the spine it can affect the nerve in two ways – one, make it very excitable and very fast, or two, make it slow and sluggish. The spinal cord passes along a passageway inside your vertebrae. The spinal cord connects every cell, tissue and organ of your body to your brain through a pair of nerve roots that branch off from it. Millions of impulses flow continuously from the brain, along the spinal cord and out to every organ and tissue and back again, keeping a running monitor of how things are functioning. Nerves control all of your organs and tissues, so if pressure is applied to these nerves because of a subluxation, they may cause weakness, numbness and poor performance. Likewise, if nerves are rubbed, stretched or otherwise irritated, they can develop hyperactive impulses that cause pain, muscle spasms, overactive organ function and other symptoms of poor health.

The result is a body that is not reaching its potential and therefore can be affected by stress. This in turn suppresses the immune system. With improved spinal function, there is improved nervous system function. Through spinal adjustments and other treatments, Dr Coom can help remove interferences that may be impairing normal health. Dr Coom uses pressure not much greater than testing the ripeness of a tomato to remove this interference away from the nervous system.

Most initial visits to chiropractors include neck pain, numbness, tingling, pins and needles, sciatica, radiating pain, digestive problems, lower and upper back pain, and headache/migraine relief. Chiropractors can also have a positive effect on many other health conditions. Chiropractic is about natural whole health without the use of drugs or surgery. An optimally functioning spine and nervous system equals optimal health.
