What is chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a form of healing guided by the belief that the systems in our body are connected and influenced by our nervous system. Stress on your body, including physical traumas, emotional thoughts, and chemical toxins, causes interference with the nervous system, known as vertebral subluxation. These subluxations or misalignments can interfere with the flow of information and energy along your nerves, affecting the body’s overall function and general health.
By restoring the relationship between your body’s structure, which is mainly the spine, and function, which is the nervous system, the body will be allowed to heal itself, improving your overall state of health.

How does chiropractic care work?

Chiropractic uses manual manipulation to treat spinal and musculoskeletal concerns, such as muscle pain, bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Chiropractic works by restoring normal joint function through soft tissue and joint manipulation. A chiropractor does not rely on medication to heal the body but focuses on a variety of manual therapies, including adjustments, electric muscle stimulations, ultrasound, roller tables, and power plates to improve function and reduce inflammation and pain.
