 Facts

The nervous system consists of your brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

Your spinal cord and nerve roots are protected and covered by 24 movable vertebrae.

Alignment of your vertebrae is essential for proper motion and function.

Nerve irritation, muscle tension, and compromised circulation can be created by improper joint motion.

Joint dysfunction is referred to as the subluxation complex.

 

How Does Chiropractic Work?

Chiropractors locate and correct structural misalignments of the vertebrae, and joint dysfunction that result in an alteration of the normal mechanical and neurological functions of the body, called the subluxation complex. A subluxation complex may not always produce pain or discomfort, but it is always an unhealthy condition.

Who Can Benefit?

Chiropractic benefits people of all ages from infants to those in their golden years. Not only can Chiropractic help to alleviate specific conditions, but it also helps to improve overall health and well-being by improving the body's innate ability to heal itself.
