What is chiropractic, what’s a subluxation and what they do to your health?
Very concisely, chiropractic is the philosophy, art and science of restoring the functional integrity of the spine and of the nervous system, through vertebral adjustments.
Chiropractic is concerned with resolving the cause of the pain, and less with the pain itself. It mainly works with the spine, the supporting structure of the body, more exactly focuses on the malfunctioning of the joints betwen the vertebrae, the bones that make up the vertebral column. These abnormally working, stiff and tight joints, left uncorrected, in time lead to ever increasing degeneration of the spine and the subsequent deterioration of general health. This malfunctioning happens when, because of various stresses ( physical, chemical or emotional ) affecting the body to a degree to which it cannot adapt, one or more vertebrae are forced out of their normal position, their proper alignment. Of even greater importance is that in turn, this malposition may cause irritation, pressure on the nerves exiting the spine at these affected joints, thus degrading the quality of the nerv signals travelling along these nerve fibers from the brain to the rest of the body and also from any part of the body back to the brain.
The brain, as the center of the nervous system, controls and coordinates the functioning of all other parts and systems of the body through nerve impulses. These signals are transmitted along the nerve fibers of the spinal cord and along those that exit from it through the openings of the spine and reach all parts of the body, like bones, muscles, glands and organs.
This combination of diminished joint and nerve function is called in chiropractic the vertebral subluxation complex. This is exactly what chiropractors want to eliminate or reduce as much as possible.
This all means that the vertebral subluxation not only compromises the structural integrity of the bony spine and that of all of the soft tissues ( ligaments, tendons, muscles ) surrounding the affected joint, but even more importantly, hinders the normal communication between the brain and the rest of the body, preventing the normal functioning of any part of the body by not getting the proper nervous supply from the brain. Abnormal spinal and neural functioning caused by subluxations leads to degeneration and desease. Certainly, the more time a subluxation is present, the greater the extent of damage to health.
The aim of the chiropractic adjustment is to correct or reduce as much as possible the vertebral subluxations, by realigning the vertebrae to their proper position and motion, thereby freeing nerves from pressure, irritation, restoring this way both the normal biomechanics of the spine and the unimpeded functioning of the nervous system. This in turn, mobilizes and strengthens the innate healing ability, we call innate intelligence, sending the body on its way to regaining and maintaining better health and vitality.

About us
I am Zoltán Grauzer, Doctor of Chiropractic and AMM (Alternative Movement and Massage) therapist.
I was born and raised in the Transylvania region of Romania. Few years after graduating and working as a civil engineer, I fled communist Romania and immigrated to the USA. Gradually my interest changed from engineering towards health issues and the maintenance of health. Practiced and later thought yoga, while working as a massage therapist. My first encounter with chiropractic came after suffering a low back injury associated with long distance running. After experiencing the beneficial effects of chiropractic treatement, and realising its increased potential in helping others, I was ready for another carrier change. So, I decided to become a chiropractor. I recieved my doctor of chiropractic degree in 1996 from Northwestern College of Chiropractic, now Northwestern Health Sciences University (www.nwhealth.edu) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Six months later I moved to Budapest and started my practice, being the first native hungarian chiropractor int the country. While here, to widen my perspective on natural health maintenance approaches, I completed the course of Alternative Movement and Massage Therapy.
In my work I integrate the experiences gained in the various natural healthcare methods I practiced with chiropractic care, for the purpose of helping patients regain and maintain their spinal health at the highest level possible, not the least advising them on self-care ways of preventing spinal injuries.
