The chiropractic approach to optimum health is to detect, reduce and prevent nervous system dysfunction. The nervous system – the body’s control and communication system – consists of the brain, spinal cord and millions of nerves traveling throughout the body. Messages back and forth through these nerves control the health and function of virtually every other cell, tissue, organ, and system of the body. The skull protects the brain and the 24 vertebrae spinal bones protect your spinal cord. When the vertebrae lose their proper positioning and become subluxated, the result is interference to the nervous system, and ultimately ill health.

Chiropractic adjustments help to return the vertebrae to their proper motion and position.

When your spine is subluxated in a certain region, you may experience problems commonly associated with that area. Correcting the subluxation will ultimately reduce the symptoms and in time correct the conditon. View the illustration below for problems associated with areas of the spine
