Chiropractic is a unique science that focuses on restoring and maintaining health, while most other healing arts are designed to treat disease. Our family chiropractic practice is provides a natural, conservative approach to your health care. Chiropractic is based on the fact that your body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism which is controlled by your nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and nerves). Interference to the nervous system occurs when the moveable bones of the spine (vertebrae) slip out of place due to everyday jolts, bumps, twists, slips, or jars. This misalignment narrows the small openings between vertebrae through which the nerves pass to reach all parts of the body. When misalignment, or subluxation, happens, the vertebrae press on a nerve, irritate it, and interfere with the transmission of nerve signals to the body. Chiropractors detect and correct these subluxations, restoring the body's nerve signals by gently replacing the bone to its normal position.
