About Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system, your brain and spinal cord, controls the function of every cell, tissue, and organ of your body. Your brain is a computer that monitors, regulates and even coordinates function between different parts of your body. Your spinal cord is a superhighway of nerves that allows the flow of information between your brain and different parts of your body. The Vertebral column (your spine) houses the spinal cord and between the individual bones (vertebrae) are openings through which the spinal nerves (with arteries and veins) exit carrying information to and from all the areas of your body. Mis-alignment of the vertebrae close or constrict these openings causing a disruption in the flow of information between the brain and the body. Chiropractors call this a Subluxation.

Our Doctor is an expert in the art of re-aligning the spine, a practice called ‘adjusting’. An adjustment can be preformed in hundreds of different ways and by many different techniques, all providing controlled pressure in a specific direction to return the spinal segments to their normal position and restore their range of motion.

Chiropractors believe that in addition to restoring range of motion, increasing flexibility, and decreasing unequal pressure on the spine which may cause degeneration (arthritis), chiropractic provides much more to the body. Removing the pressure on the nerves allows the body to function the way it was intended to function, making your body healthier as it is able to “heal” itself.

The spine is one the most vital parts of the human body as it is the gateway for communication between you nervous system and organs of your body.
