Chiropractic care is a form of diagnosing and treating illnesses that impact the nerves, muscles, bones and joints of the body. Based on the principle that several diseases are affected by abnormal nerve transmission, or "subluxation" caused by a misalignment of the spine. The nerves leave the spinal cord through openings between movable spinal bones known as vertebrae. If vertebrae, through injury or posture problems, become misaligned they interfere with normal function of the nerves. This misalignment causes pain and malfunction of the nervous system. The subluxation then becomes the cause of pain.

The current Chiropractic performs both directly and indirectly with the nervous system. Every functionality of the body is within the control of this system. Every organ, tissue and cell is controlled by nerve impulses passing from the brain to all of the areas of the body. Nerves enable all movement. Nerves transmit all sensations to the brain. Nerves make possible all sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing.

Chiropractic is a natural approach of health care concentrating on treating the causes of physical problems rather than the symptoms. It is a non-drug, non-surgical treatment to health care utilizing mild spinal manipulation therapy and helping the body to recover itself naturally.

The purpose of Chiropractic care is to identify, by means of X-ray films and through test, the exact degree of spinal misalignment creating this subluxation. Proper "adjustments" are provided to eliminate these subluxations and thus remove the reason for pain and malfunction.

Chiropractic has shown as an effective and noninvasive treatment when it comes to severe and chronic low back pain, sciatica, neck pain, headaches (including migraines), inflammation of the middle ear, digestive problems, menstrual and premenstrual pain, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and other sports injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, allergies and asthma.

The adjustment, or correction of a subluxation, is the means of care provided by the Chiropractor. An adjustment is an application of a precise force to bring back the vertebrae to its natural position. Many various procedures can be applied to do an adjustment all of which are pain free to the patient. Only a chiropractor has gained the expertise and understanding needed to determine when, where and exactly how to apply a spinal adjustment. The soft tissues, the muscles and ligaments, are stretched when the vertebrae is in an unnatural position, so these tissues must have time to restore. Commonly, proper muscle tone, ligament position and the shape of the vertebrae will make the vertebrae acting normally.
