About Chiropractic
Chiropractic is based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system - especially the spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body. Chiropractic stresses the idea that the cause of many disease processes begins with the body's inability to adapt to its environment. It looks to address these diseases not by the use of drugs and chemicals, but by locating and adjusting a musculoskeletal area of the body which is functioning improperly.
While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable, covered by 24 moving vertebrae. When these bones lose their normal motion or position, they can irritate the nervous system. This disrupts the function of the tissues or organs these nerves control, and is called the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
Chiropractic is the science of locating these areas of spinal malfunction, the art of correcting them, and the philosophy of things natural.
