The system that in theory uses the recuperative powers of the body and the relationship between the musculoskeletal structures and functions of the body, particularly of the spinal column and nervous system, in the restoration and maintenance of health.
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. Your nervous system consists of your brain, spinal chord, and millions of nerves. While your brain is protected by the skull, your spinal cord is protected by the 24 moving bones of the spine.
Many everyday activities can cause these spinal bones to lose their normal position or motion. This can result in nervous system dysfunction and ultimately, ill health.
The chiropractic approach to better health is to detect, reduce, and help prevent nervous system dysfunction.
Chiropractic adjustments are safer than aspirin, muscle relaxers, and surgery. Dozens of research studies have documented the safety and effectivness of chiropractic adjustments.
