What health problem concerns you? Common responses include headache, back pain, joint pain, weakness or numbness, digestive trouble, sinus/allergy trouble, sleeping trouble, fatigue, and/or moodiness/irritability.
While many people seek natural approaches to get relief of their symptoms, few people understand how chiropractic may help.
Have you ever had a pebble in your shoe? How did it feel? What did you do about it?
It would be silly to say that you took medication or had foot surgery to correct the problem. Instead, you took your shoe off and removed the pebble, right?! Because of its constant irritation of a nerve, a tiny pebble causes discomfort and pain. 10% of the nerves in our bodies are sensory, meaning that they collect information from our environment. Sensory nerves include nerves of vision, smell, and pain. The other 90% of the nerves in our bodies are either motor or autonomic, meaning that they control the functions of the body such as heart beat, digestion, muscle movement, and hormone regulation. Pressure or irritation of a nerve will always cause a change in the body. For example, what would you feel if there was pressure on a nerve pain? Answer: pain i.e. headache, back pain, joint pain etc. What would you feel if there was pressure on a nerve of function? Answer: loss of function i.e. digestive trouble, sinus/allergie trouble, sleeping trouble etc. None of these things are painful, but they are examples of a body that's not working at its optimal level.
Chiropractic works by gently re-aligning the body to take the pressure off the nerves, just like taking the pebble out of the shoe, to help relieve aches and pains as well as other health problems of the body. The first chiropractic patient, in fact, was a deaf janitor who had his hearing restored following a chiropractic adjustment.
So, what health problem concerns you? A trip to your local Las Vegas chiropractor may give great relief!

Re: A Pebble in Your Shoe: The Chiropractic Explanation
Everyone has had at one time or another, possibly currently, some sort of health concern. I know what I have and know what needs to be done through Chiropractic. People need to realize that over the counter and prescription drugs are not always the way to handle those issues. Its so easy to pop pills, but so easy to get away from what's best for yourself. People, including myself, need to create more time for more natural solutions to handling health and the concerns we have. For those of you who read this, please see the caring Chiropractor listed in this website, Angela Cherniawski, and help yourself.
