What is Chiropractic Medicine?
Chiropractic is the science, art and philosophy that concerns itself with the relationship between the nervous system and the function (health) of the body. Chiropractic is based on scientific fact that the nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ, and system of the body.
While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal coed is more vulnerable. Covered by 24 moving segments (the vertebrae), a malfunction or the nerves or tissue may occur if the vertebrae lose their normal position or motion (vertebral subluxation).
Chiropractic is the science of locating these areas of spinal malfunction (subluxation), the art of correcting them, and the philosophy healing and maintaining health as naturally as possible.
