What is chiropractic?

If you were to ask 100 people on the street "what is chiropractic?", you would get many different answers.

Some people would say chiropractic is for back pain, others might say it is for neck pain and headaches. While chiropractors have become very well known for helping people with symptomatic relief. Chiropractic has alot more to offer

Millions of people all around the world are now recognizing chiropractic to be a part of their healthy lifestyle. Just like eating right and exercise are a part of a healthy lifestyle, so is regular chiropractic care.

Chiropractic is based off of 3 premises:

• Your body is self healing and self regulating.
  As an example, you cut your finger, your body heals itself. Or you are exposed to germs, your body fights them off to keep you healthy.
• Your brain and nervous system control and regulate all the functions of your body including the way your body heals.
• Your spine protects your nervous system when in normal alignment, but when it's not in alignment, we interfere with our nervous system (subluxation).
  This interference (subluxation) is what chiropractors are trained to detect and correct. The correction of subluxation allows your body to express it's normal innate (inborn) functions such as controlling your heart beat or lungs breathing.

So chiropractic is really about making sure your body works at its best day in and day out. Whether that be to help with a symptom, or to just keep you healthy.
