What Is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a clinical science based upon the law of biology that states that all living things have the inborn ability to be well.
Chiropractors respect the indisputable fact that the nervous system (consisting of the brain, spinal cord,
peripheral nerves and special sensory organs) controls and co-ordinates all other organs and structures in the body
and relates the person to their environment.
Removing interference to this master control system allows the body to heal itself and gives the optimum
conditions for life and health.
Your nervous system controls and coordinates all the functions of your body. If you interfere with the signals
traveling through nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper messages and will not be able to function at 100% of your
innate ability. In other words, some part of your body will not be working properly. This state is known as subluxation.
Subluxations occur when there are misalignments or a lack of motion in the bones of the spine. It is the responsibility
of the Doctor of Chiropractic to locate subluxations, and reduce or correct them.
This is done through a series of gentle and safe chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the misalignments or
lack of motion in your spine.
Chiropractors are the only professionals who undergo years of training to be the experts at correcting
subluxations.
