Chiropractic's unique health care system recognizes the importance of a healthy spine and nervous system. Your nervous system (which is made up of the brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves) is continuously producing vital messages for life. Millions of these messages are sent every second, passing from your brain to your body cells and equally important, from your body cells back to your brain through this vast communication system of nerve wires. These messages are what control every cell, tissue and organ of our body to give us health and healing. Like wanting to keep blood traveling unobstructed from the heart through your arteries, Chiropractic's objective is to optimize health and wellness through an unobstructed nervous system.

Interferences Within The Nervous System Are Called," Vertebral Subluxations"

As the brain sends vital messages for health and wellness down the spinal cord, out the spinal nerves to every cell tissue and organ, they must travel between hard bones of your spine called "vertebrae". These bones or vertebrae are movable and when stressed, they can misalign putting abnormal pressure, serious stress and irritation to nerves exiting the spine. As a result, the nerves cannot get 100% of their messages to the body parts. This creates a loss of the brain's control and coordination of the body, resulting in lowered state of health. This condition of a misaligned vertebrae creating nervous system interference is called, " Vertebral Subluxation". A Vertebral Subluxation is an often painless, tiny, spinal distortion that can affect your nerves, muscles, internal organs, discs, bones, brain function, posture, and overall health. You would think that anything interrupting the proper flow of electrical impulses through your nervous system would set off loud, beeping alarms in the body. But it doesn't – not until a certain amount of damage has already been accumulated. Studies reveal that almost everyone has Vertebral Subluxation in their spine: it is a "hidden epidemic". Chiropractor's goal is to improve nervous system function, health and wellness naturally, by reducing or eliminating vertebral subluxations, so the body can heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.
