What is Chiropractic?
Initially, people seek chiropractic care for many different reasons. Our professional objective is to detect, correct and prevent the recurrence of spinal subluxations. A spinal subluxation involves a misalignment and loss of movement of a bone in the spinal column which interferes to nervous system function. It may be caused by any physical, chemical or emotional stresses to which the body cannot adapt. Chiropractors use specific spinal adjustments to correct subluxations.
