What is Chiropractic? Chiropractic is the largest, most regulated, and best recognized of all complementary and alternative medicine professions. All 50 states recognize chiropractic as a health care profession, and chiropractic is the third largest doctoral-level health care profession following medicine and dentistry. The definition of chiropractic is healing done by the hands, without the use of drugs or surgery. Chiropractic focuses primarily on overall health and prevention of disease through maintenance of the nervous system. Chiropractic does not claim to cure any disease; it aims to restore the structure of the body through correction of subluxations to allow the body to heal on its own.

A subluxation is an abnormal relationship between spinal bones that impairs the structure and motion of the joint. The joint is said to be fixated, or “stuck”. The nervous system is in close association with the spine; therefore, a subluxation can irritate the spinal nerves, altering communication between the brain and the body. The nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ, and system in the body. By compromising the integrity of the nervous system, any part of the body can be affected, diminishing function and general health of the body. How Does Chiropractic Help? Chiropractic adjustments release the interference of the nerves, allowing the body to heal and the organ systems to regain their proper function. An unhealthy nervous system can be the underlying cause of many health problems. Chiropractic helps maintain a healthy nervous system and therefore a healthy body. | Who Should See a Chiropractor? Subluxations are a response to stress. This stress can be mechanical (trauma, repetitive motions, poor posture), chemical (toxins, drugs, poor diet), or psychological (emotional) in nature. Nearly everyone is under stress and has the potential to develop spinal subluxations, including infants, children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly. Stress can even begin in the womb. Chiropractic is more than just pain relief. Spinal subluxations are often painless but may be causing other signs and symptoms in the body. Chiropractic has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of many conditions other than back pain. Some of these include: - Allergies
- Asthma
- Bedwetting
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Colic
- Ear Infections
- Extremity Conditions
- Headaches
- PMS
- Pregnancy
- Sciatica
- Scoliosis
- Sinus Pain
- Wellness
- Whiplash
