What is Chiropractic?
The art, science and philosophy of chiropractic emphasize the nervous system’s interaction with the whole body. A Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) is interested in detecting any interference to the nerves and muscles. This interference is called vertebral subluxation, which is when the spinal bones lose their normal position and motion putting pressure on nerves, causing decreased range of motion and tightness of muscles. Subluxation of the spine can be caused by 3 different mechanisms: stress, trauma or chemical imbalances.
Rather than focusing on symptoms, chiropractors use a holistic approach to wellness that utilizes adjustments, which are used to correct and prevent vertebral subluxation, therapeutic techniques and lifestyle changes to correct neuromusculoskeletal disorders and promote the body’s natural healing ability.Chiropractic is a drug-free, non-surgical science and, as such does not include pharmaceuticals or incisive surgery.
