What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the brain and nervous system controls every cell, organ, tissue and function in the body. Another scientific fact is that your body wants to heal itself and function at its best. It is constantly striving for homeostasis. Your chiropractic doctor’s role is to find and correct subluxations. A subluxation is an area of the spine which is mal-functioning and affecting the normal exchange of nerve messages between the brain and the body.

Put simply this means that if your spine is functioning poorly it may affect the exchange of vital information between your body and your brain. This may or may not cause pain, but it will cause loss of health.

How do we know if we have any poorly functioning areas? We need to get a check up by a chiropractor, as they are the only qualified health professional to deal with the detection and correction of chiropractic subluxations.
