Munster Chiropractic

Motus Integrative Health specializes in non-invasive pain relief, providing Munster chiropractic services to patients of all ages. Chiropractic is a science, art and philosophy that focuses on the human spine, including the seven cervical vertebra (the ‘neck’), the twelve thoracic vertebrae (the mid-back) and the five lumbar vertebra (the low back), as well as the final two bones of the spine, the sacrum and coccyx. These bones are very similar to the other bones of the body in many ways but, in one very distinct way, they are unique; the vertebrae of the spine are the only bones that protect the spinal cord, the delicate and incredibly important largest nerve of the nervous system.

The Science, Art and Philosophy of Chiropractic Care

Scientific studies have proven that, if it is misaligned or ‘subluxated’, the vertebrae of the spine can put pressure on the spinal cord and spinal nerves, which leads to pain and, in time, various other maladies and diseases. This is the science of chiropractic, which states that a subluxated (misaligned, twisted, bent) spine can and does cause health problems.

The art of chiropractic stems from the fact that chiropractors use of their hands to correct subluxations of the spine with physical medicine, using specifically applied force that is called and ‘adjustment’. The ‘laying on of the hands’ is a time-honored tradition, the art of gently pushing the spinal bones back into place.

Lastly, there is the philosophy of chiropractic, which states that the human body has the ability to heal itself, so long as there is no interference in the nervous system. In short, our chiropractors move the misaligned bones of the spine back into their correct position, taking pressure off the nerve (the interference) and allowing the body to heal itself.

Chiropractic Can Treat Many of These Symptoms

Headaches, migraines and neck pain can all be caused by subluxations or misalignments of the spine. So too can sciatica, low back pain or lumbalgia. Insomnia, shoulder pain and tingling in the fingers can be caused by subluxations, as can heart arrhythmia, sleep apnea, impotence and IBS.

The reason these health problems, and many more, can occur is that, when the spine is subluxated and the nerves pinched, they messages being sent from the brain to the body are interrupted, much like cutting the cable to a lamp, and thus the part connected to that nerve can’t function and /or heal correctly. That’s why Motus Integrative Health focuses on healing the spine. By treating these symptoms from their root cause, you’ll experience a faster, more significant reduction in pain.
