Chiropractic is a health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health.
Chiropractic works because you are self-healing and regulated by your nervous system. In a healthy spine, the vertebrae, which are individual bone segments, are carefully “stacked” and aligned so that the various nerves can carry information to your brain and interact with every cell and tissue in your body. Improper motion and position of the vertebrae can irritate and negatively effect nerve function, which can in turn effect tissues, muscles, joints, organs and glands.
Chiropractic care locates these areas and helps reduce or eliminate their effect with spinal adjustments, therapies and nutritional support. At the moment you receive a chiropractic adjustment thousands of body functions are affected. Health returns with restored nervous system control of your body.
This is the essence of chiropractic: to remove that which interferes with your body’s natural ability to heal itself and support your tissues during your healing process. You are wonderfully made to heal yourself, sometimes though everyone needs help to get onto the healthy path!
