What is Chiropractic?
A Natural, non-invasive approach to health care
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism, controlled by the brain, spinal cord and nerves of the body. Within each of us lies the Inborn (or Innate) Intelligence to heal the body. The vertebrae, which protect the nervous system, when misaligned, causes interference in this Inborn or Innate healing wisdom. This is called SUBLUXATION. Subluxation always causes nerve interference, and subsequently causes malfunction of the tissues and organs throughout the body. Subluxation lowers your health potential.
Chiropractors remove subluxation by adjusting the spine. Chiropractic is the largest drugless form of healthcare available. Doctors of Chiropractic, more commonly known as Chiropractors, are primary health care providers licensed in all 50 states, and are recognized by governmental and private health care programs. Every year, more than 30 million Americans see Chiropractors as part of the regular health care programs and with over 84,000 licensed chiropractors nationwide and more than 10,000 students currently enrolled in chiropractic school, it is the fastest growing health care profession.
Chiropractors frequently care for individuals with problems, such as headaches, joint pain, neck pain, low back pain and sciatica. Chiropractors also care for patients with osteoarthritis, spinal disk conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, sprains, and strains. However, the scope of conditions that chiropractors manage or provide care for is not limited to the common pains and problems listed above. Chiropractors also help people with a variety of conditions such as allergies, asthma, digestive disorders, and other disorders as new research is developed. Reduction of pain and other symptoms is not the primary goal, but merely a pleasant side effect of chiropractic care. It's not about your pain, it's about your life! Chiropractic care will improve your entire life by removing interference in your nerve system.
