How It Works
Since its discovery Chiropractic has been based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body.
The spinal cord is protected by twenty four bones called vertebrae. It is necessary for these vertebrae to be flexible so that we can move as we do.
However this makes it possible for them to move out of position, stiffen and lose their normal motion or function. When they lose their normal position or stiffen, they can irritate the major nerve roots which exit from the spine through gaps in the vertebrae.
This can cause back pain and neck pain or pain that radiates to your arms or legs.
Chiropractic is the science of locating these areas of spinal malfunction or joint dysfunction and correcting them or working on the areas to make them move better.
