Chiropractor Daniel L. Carrier,
D.C.
Thank you for visiting the Carrier Chiropractic Center website. We are
very proud to be a part of the Front Royal, Virginia community and to provide
the highest quality chiropractic care to so many wonderful people.
Chiropractic philosophy begins with the principle that the
human organism has an innate power to maintain its own health. The art of
chiropractic focuses on adjustments to correct spinal malfunctions, called
subluxations, in order to remove interference to the spinal cord and the nerves
that exit between the bones of the spine. Science has found that the nerve
system controls all other organs and tissues of the body, so a nerve system
functioning at its best facilitates the body's ability to cope with disability
and disease. Because of its potential to enable patients to live healthier, more
fulfilling lives, chiropractic has been called "The Big Idea."
The chiropractic approach to health care is holistic, stressing the patient's
overall well being. It recognizes that many factors affect health, including
exercise, diet, rest, environment and heredity. Chiropractic focuses on
maintaining optimal health naturally so that the body is better able to resist
disease, rather than simply treating the symptoms of disease. Chiropractors use
natural, drugless, non-surgical health care and rely on the body's inherent
recuperative abilities.
Chiropractic is whole-body health care with the vision to see the human body as
much more than the sum of its parts. Chiropractors see their patients as more
than people coming to their office with a set of symptoms. Their vision
encompasses the entire individual in all of his or her unique complexity, and
they work in partnership with their patients to ensure optimal health and
wellness in all facets of their lives.
This unique health care approach views the body as having an innate, natural
ability to adapt to changes in its internal and external environments and
maintain itself in a state of health. Traditional medicine and its allied health
fields typically views the body from a more mechanistic standpoint — as a system
of parts that can be altered through outside interventions to produce certain
results. Both approaches have important roles to play, but they are
fundamentally different.
Chiropractors focus on the nerve system (the brain and spinal cord) which
manages the body’s vast chemical interactions to help ensure proper function.
The brain sends messages through the spinal cord across a huge network of spinal
nerves to deliver information to every cell, organ and system of the body. This
information system coordinates the myriad chemical reactions that dictate how
well you sleep, how food is digested, your ability to concentrate, physical
coordination, the capabilities of the immune system and all aspects of body
function.
When bones of the spine become misaligned or move out of their normal position,
they can distort the flow of information from the brain to the body. Without the
proper information from the nerve system, the body cannot function to its full
potential. That’s why chiropractors gently correct these misalignments (or
vertebral subluxations) — to correct interference to the nerve system and the
body’s ability to control and coordinate its many functions.
