Chiropractic is based upon a few very simple ideas.
Your body is designed with an inborn ability to maintain healthy function. All of us have
within our body the ability to make living tissue, heal cuts, adapt to environmental
changes, produce the chemicals necessary for bodily functions, and to fight off bacteria
and viruses. In summary, your body has the innate ability to enable you to lead a healthy
productive life.
The nervous system is the master control system of your body. Every organ, gland and cell
in your body depends upon messages carried to and from the brain via the spinal cord
and nerves in order to function healthily.
Interference in the nervous system reduces your body's ability to function in a healthy
manner. Even slight damage to the delicate and vital spinal nerves can reduce your body's
ability to function to its fullest potential.
Slight misalignments of the bones of your spine (called vertebral subluxations) interfere
with the ability of the nervous system to carry messages. These vital messages are necessary
for the proper functioning of your body, and the attainment of optimal health.
Chiropractors correct vertebral subluxations. The objective of the chiropractor is to locate
and correct vertebral subluxations to remove any interference to the optimal functioning
of the nervous system. With a better operating nervous system, your body can heal itself
more efficiently, be healthier and function closer to its potential.
