What is Chiropractic?

Your nervous system controls all living cells, tissues, and organs. The spinal column encases and protects the spinal cord and the nerve roots, which is the way your nervous system does its work.

So, anything that irritates the spinal column, including injury or wear and tear, has the potential to irritate the nervous system. Irritation of the nervous system leads to problems with the cells, tissues, and organs that it controls.

Chiropractors locate and treat the sources of the irritation, such as nerve impingement or misalignment of the vertebrae. They not only treat the spine, but also the joints of the arms and legs to make sure everything is moving in the way it should.Chiropractors also use techniques such as massage, nutritional counseling, exercise, and lifestyle modification programs. Chiropractors are more likely to approach health complaints holistically in order to promote long-term benefits to the patient.
