Chiropractic supports the concept that good health depends on proper functioning musculoskeletal and nervous systems. The brain stem and spinal cord are the communication pathways for nerve impulses to and from the brain. Messages that pass back and forth through these nerves control the health and function of every cell, tissue, and organ in the body.
Our vertebrae protects the brain stem and spinal cord. Even a small disturbance to the spine can affect the delicate nerve tissue. This disturbance can cause tissues and organs throughout the body to function poorly. It can also predispose us to limited function, illness, and injury.
Chiropractic is a holistic form of health care that is drug-free, non-surgical, and assists the body’s own natural healing abilities. A person’s whole body and lifestyle are examined and treated.
Chiropractic care uses natural health methods such as exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications to promote wellness, decrease recovery time, and prevent recurrence. The chiropractor also uses adjustments to restore the normal position and motion to the bones of the spine. |
