“Chiropractors adjust the cause of dis-ease instead of treating the effects.”
— B.J. Palmer, D.C.

Chiropractic Basics
Chiropractic is probably the most prejudged and misunderstood profession on earth.
Most people think chiropractic is a treatment for back pain.
The truth is that chiropractic is that and so much more.
It is an alternative approach to health.
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your nervous system controls the function of virtually every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body.
Nervous system dysfunction, caused by the misaligned bones of the spine can be a common cause of ill health. This is called a subluxation.
Subluxation
A subluxation is a condition that occurs when a vertebra or group of vertebra misalign to the extent that they cause an interference to the tiny nerve fibers
that travel through the spinal column.
A subluxation may produce just about any symptom you can imagine, yet often times has no symptoms at all.
It can take many years after the spine has misaligned before a symptom may appear.
Chiropractic is the science, art and philosophy of locating and correcting subluxations.
An adjustment is a chiropractic method of correcting subluxations.
