WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?

Chiropractic is the most popular form of natural health care. Although chiropractors deal with the entire body, they are primarily concerned with the nervous system.  Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ and system in your body.  The nerves exit the spinal canal through the vertebrae.  A chiropractor has had seven to nine years of college that has helped to prepare him/her to be able to identify vertebral subluxations. Subluxations affect the nerves that exit the spinal canal, thus affecting a person’s well-being.  Chiropractors help to correct subluxations by using adjustments.

Regardless of the type of doctor you consult, doctors do not heal; only the body can heal itself.  Instead of covering up a patient’s symptoms with medications, chiropractors look to correct the problem.  Chiropractors help the body heal itself without adding (medication) or taking away (surgery) anything from the body. C hiropractors adjust subluxations to help restore normal nerve function.
