What is Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a natural healthcare profession grounded in science, art, and philosophy. Many people seek chiropractic care for a wide range of neuromusculoskeletal issues—and with great success. This is because chiropractic’s unique approach focuses on restoring optimal nervous system function, allowing the brain and body to better coordinate health in response to internal and external stressors.
Why Do We Need Chiropractic?
Throughout life, we encounter various chemical, physical, and emotional stresses that can negatively affect our health and wellbeing. The nervous system—comprising the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves—controls every function in the body. Any disruption to its function can compromise our overall health.
The spine plays a vital role in protecting the central nervous system, acting as a protective “armour” around it. The 24 vertebrae that make up the spinal column help guard this system—unless they become compromised due to chronic stress or trauma. For example, prolonged postural strain or an accident can alter the spine’s structure, affecting the function of the peripheral nerves as they exit the spine. This can lead to various symptoms and health concerns.
Because of the spine’s close relationship with the nervous system, chiropractors focus on maintaining spinal health in order to support optimal nervous system function—helping you express your full health potential.
How Does Chiropractic Work?
At Maple Chiropractic, we adjust the spine to remove interference and restore optimal nervous system function—allowing the body to reconnect to its incredible capacity to heal, adapt, and perform.
Guided by natural philosophy, informed by scientific evidence, and delivered with ever-evolving technique, our chiropractic care is tailored to your body and needs. Each adjustment is performed in a unique, professional, and welcoming environment.
Innate Healing
Health is the body’s constant, innate drive to adapt to its internal and external environment.
Your body has an incredible built-in ability to heal itself. For example, when you cut your hand, it doesn’t heal because of the plaster—it heals because your body’s own systems recognise the injury and initiate a four-stage healing process, entirely without conscious effort.
Healing is dynamic and takes time. It also requires key inputs—such as a well-functioning nervous system, quality sleep, and good nutrition. In today’s world, chronic stress often overwhelms these systems, leading to slower recovery and poor health outcomes.
Chiropractic care works by clearing interference in the body, helping to restore the natural healing process so it can function at its best.
History of Chiropractic
Chiropractic care originated in 1895 in the United States, when D.D. Palmer adjusted a janitor’s spine and, reportedly, restored his hearing. Inspired by this result, Palmer spent the rest of his life adjusting spines and witnessing what he called ‘miraculous’ outcomes.
His son, B.J. Palmer, helped shape the profession into what it is today. Through relentless study, technique development, the founding of schools, and decades of spinal adjustments, B.J. expanded the chiropractic philosophy and helped thousands more regain health.
Chiropractic has evolved greatly since then. One of its greatest strengths is the diversity of approaches that exist within the profession today.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Visiting a chiropractor begins with a comprehensive initial consultation, including a full case history and physical examination. This may include orthopaedic and neurological testing, digital posture scans, surface EMG to assess nervous system activity, and, where necessary, digital X-rays.
This detailed assessment helps us determine the root cause of your health concern so we can recommend the best course of care and deliver the best possible results.
If you have concerns about your health—or simply want to ensure your spine is functioning optimally—contact your local chiropractor for an assessment.
