About Chiropractic: How does it work?

The function of chiropractic is not to heal disease or even to relieve pain, although both of those effects may occur in the course of chiropractic treatment. Ultimately, the goal of chiropractic is to restore the body to its natural state. Chiropractic works because we are a self healing, self regulating organisms controlled by our central nervous system. Improper position of the vertebra can impinge on the nervous system and thus affect organs and tissues. Health often returns when there is improvement in the central nervous system. Chiropractic is an alternative form of healthcare that is natural and noninvasive. It does not involve the use of drugs or surgery. Chiropractic is used as a preventative health to keep people healthy.

Chiropractic is based on the fact that good health depends upon having a fully functioning spine and nervous system. Chiropractors achieve this by giving a series of adjustments to the spine by reducing spinal misalignments pinching down on the nervous system. It is a safe, natural, and affordable form of healthcare.

Chiropractors use their hands or a hand held instrument to make an adjustment to the spine. When the spine is in misalignment, it can interfere with the surrounding nerve or nerves. This is called a subluxation. Subluxations can produce pain but not always. Some people may carry subluxations with them their whole life and this can deteriorate the spine. This is why it is necessary to detect and correct these subluxations before they can progress to a further stage such as arthritis, pinched nerves, fusion, etc...
