Frequently Asked Questions
Chiropractic is the fastest growing healthcare choice before drugs or surgery.
Chiropractic is the science, which concerns itself with the relationship between structure, primarily the spine, and function, primarily the nervous system, of the human body as that relationship affects restoration and preservation 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 cord, and millions of nerves. The skull protects your brain, and the 24 moving bones of the spine protect the spinal cord. Daily activities can cause these spinal bones to lose their normal position or motion- resulting in nervous system dysfunction and ultimately, ill health. In this office, the chiropractic approach to better health is to detect, reduce, and help prevent nervous system dysfunction by correcting those spinal misalignments.
The chiropractic adjustment, a non-invasive, manual technique, works to remove the nerve dysfunction and restore proper spinal motion so our bodies can function at 100%.
