ABOUT CHIROPRACTIC
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic (ki"ro-prak"tik)
- Chiropractic is a philosophy, science and art of things natural; a system of
adjusting the segments of the spinal column by hand only, for the correction of
the cause of disease.
What is
subluxation?
Subluxation (sub''luk-sa'shun) -
Any vertebrae which has lost its proper juxta-position with the bone above,
below, or both, which impinges on a nerve and interferes with mental impulses.
That is, a spinal misalignment or malfunction that doesn't allow your body's
communication system to work properly.
Chiropractic Philosophy
Chiropractic is based on the
understanding that our bodies are in a continuous state of healing. Healing
takes place in all living people. This healing is directed by the central
nervous system (brain and spinal cord). This is the focus of the chiropractor;
to make sure the communication is open from the brain to the body and from the
body back to the brain.
We detect subluxations in the
spine which can hinder these communications. Removing subluxations will allow
the body to work better.
