Chiropractic is a health care system which directly concerns itself with the nervous system and its relation to the function of the human body. Interference with the body's muscular, nervous and skeletal systems impairs many important body functions and lowers resistance to disease. Chiropractors correct vertebral subluxations (vertebrae in the spine which have lost their normal position and are causing pressure on connected tissue, joints and nerves) which inhibit the body from allowing total health.

Chiropractors are concerned with patients overall well-being and recognize that many factors affect health, including: stress, exercise, diet, rest, environment and heredity. Chiropractic is the largest, drugless, natural healing profession in the world, which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.

The key to understanding Chiropractic is to remember that health comes from within and Chiropractic targets the healing power within your body to create an abundance of vitality and wellness. Doctors of chiropractic are the second largest primary care providers. In fact, there are over 60,000 licensed doctors practicing in the United States. Chiropractors believe in the human body’s ability to heal itself without the use of surgery or medication.

Chiropractic care maintains the health of the body’s nerves, organs, and connective tissue so the body can continue to function properly. Unlike prescription pain medication or physical therapy, chiropractic targets the misalignments of the spine, thus preventing further discomfort or pain. In addition, chiropractic care is covered by most insurance. In this area alone, over 80 insurances include chiropractic care in their coverage.
