Welcome. I’m Dr. Scott Graziosa from Life Aligned Chiropractic. I’m here to show you how the spine works, how your body can function optimally under chiropractic care so that you and your loved ones, family, friends, anyone could live out the best lives possible. Looking at the spine from the side, there’s the front of your spine here.

 

There’s the backs, the little bumps that you feel, and right down here is the pelvis just to get you situated. Where we are at now, what we do know is brain sits on top of the skull there. The brain will pass through the base of skull there, so not a last base right there. And that turns into the brainstem, so brain turns into the brainstem, which gets protected by the top two bones of your neck.

 

Another name for the top bone in your neck is Atlas. Atlas. And grief mythology is that guy that holds up the world. Probably the most important part of your whole body. Okay. Now, when the brain communicates through that brainstem from the second bone down, brain stem turns into the spinal cord and that goes all the way down to your waist.

 

It’s protected by individual segments called vertebra, and that every segment is a set of nerves that comes out and goes everywhere to organs, muscle cells, or tissues. So what chiropractors look for. Is if you have a misalignment in your spine, that could put pressure on the nerve and that could be anywhere in your whole spinal column system.

 

We try to locate those subluxation, which is a fancy word for less than light sub, is less than locks his light ancient condition up. We look for those subluxations, we find them. We fix ’em, we move that bone back into place, taking pressure off that nerve. So when brain communicates to the body, it will communicate a hundred percent, but also the communication back to the brain.

 

That’s what chiropractors do. We locate and detect sub subluxations.  We move those bounds back in place, allowing your body to function the way it was designed. Thank.
