What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic emphasizes the relationship between your body’s structure (primarily your spine) and function (primarily coordinated by your nervous system) and how that relationship impacts your health and well-being. Chiropractors make adjustments to the spine that tap into the innate ability of your body to healwithout drugs or surgery. To become a Doctor of Chiropractic requires 8 years of training.
How can Chiropractic help?
No part of your body escapes the dominance of your nervous system. Improper function of the spine due to slight misalignmentscalled subluxationscan cause poor health or function, even in areas far removed from the spine and spinal cord itself. Misalignments can also reduce the ability of your body to adapt to its ever-changing environment. Even the slightest malfunction of your spine may alter the regular transmission of nerve impulses, preventing that portion of your body from responding optimally.
