Chiropractic Care

The premise of Chiropractic is:

"The power that made the body heals the body."

How does Chiropractic work?

A chiropractor is primarily concerned with the spinal column because it houses and protects the most important system in the body, the Nervous System, from the skull all the way to the tailbone. The spine is comprised of  24 vertebrae, within these spinal bones resides the brain(within the skull) and the spinal cord. The central nervous sytem controls and coordinates the function of every muscle, cell, and organ in the body. The spine must be in good alignment with proper flexibility and balance for the nervous sytem to function optimally. When the spine is not in proper alignment there can be interference with the functioning of the nerves. These interferences disrupt how our bodies function and can cause many diseases and illnesses. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment within the spinal column while reducing nervous sytem interference to allow the body to reach it's highest potential.
