Chiropractic is a profession that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of biomechanical disorders of the neuro-musculoskeletal system, particularly involving the spine and its effects on the nervous system.

Spinal dysfunction and misalignment can be brought on by a number of factors associated with modern day living, including accidents, physical stress, mental stress, anxiety, poor diet, lack of exercise and repetitive movements. Loss of normal function of the spinal bones can cause compression and irritation of the joints and nerves that exit from between the spinal vertebrae. These spinal nerves supply every part of your body. Through this neural connection, spinal problems can affect the function of muscles, joints and organs and interfere with optimum health.

Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls the function of virtually every tissue, cell, organ and system of the body. In the majority of cases the treatment is aimed at removing nerve compression and irritation, which most commonly has been brought on by abnormal alignment or dysfunction of the spinal joints. Chiropractors use specific manipulation of these joints to restore their normal function. The result is increase in mobility, decrease in any pain or discomfort and removal of irritation of the nerves with a wide range of health benefits.

Chiropractic can help relieve pain, dysfunction and discomfort from practically every part of the body by releasing the inherent power of the body to heal itself. Not only does it offer hands-on pain management, but it can also promote optimum health and give a general sense of well-being as the body balances itself through treatment and starts to function without interference. An important part of chiropractic management of your health is to ensure that once you get better, you will also stay that way. The ultimate goal is to restore and optimize health and keep irreversible degenerative changes to minimum.
