Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body.
While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable, covered by 24 moving vertebrae. When these bones lose their normal motion or position, this can cause premature aging or degeneration of the spinal joints and can irritate or block the delicate nervous system.
This disrupts the function of the tissues or organs that the nerves control and is called a Vertebral Subluxation.
Chiropractic is the science of locating these areas of spinal joint dysfunction and the art of improving them. It concerns itself with the relationship between the nervous system and the function (health) of the body.
As the function of the joints improves the scales are tipped away from dysfunction and degeneration back towards health and regeneration.
