About Chiropractic

What is chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a total approach to health. The science of chiropractic emphasizes the relationship between the Nervous System and the structural system of the body. Correcting spinal misalignments, called subluxations, is for the purpose of relieving disorders of the human body. If there is a problem or abnormality of relationship between these systems, there may be a problem that manifests as discomfort, pain, or other symptoms.

These effects of abnormal relationships of the body’s system are addressed by the chiropractic adjustment. The adjustment may correct a possible spinal misalignment, the vertebral subluxation complex, and permit the restoration of normal nerve transmission and activity to the body. Thus, the body is able to function at its peak performance and better resist external and internal causes that might create unpleasant symptoms.

Chiropractic’s primary function is not to treat illness or disease. Its purpose is to help make all of the body’s resources available for optimal healing regardless of condition. Results are as individual as people themselves. This is why both young and old, sick and healthy can benefit from chiropractic care. Recent chiropractic and medical research reports that chiropractic care has made a difference for people with the following health concerns.
