Chiropractic, what is it?

Chiropractic


Chiropractic is a health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health.

Chiropractors emphasize spinal adjusting for the treatment of vertebral subluxations. Currently, chiropractors practice in over 100 countries in all regions of the world, however chiropractors are most prevalent in North America, Australia and parts of Europe.

Chiropractic was founded in 1895 by D.D. Palmer. Evidence supports spinal dysfunction/subluxation as a possible cause of disease. This has led to a critical evaluation of a central tenet of chiropractic and the appropriateness of the profession's role in treating a broad spectrum of disorders that are unrelated to the neuromusculoskeletal system. Although there is external and internal debate within the chiropractic profession regarding the clinical significance of joint dysfunction/subluxation, the manipulable lesion remains inextricably linked to the profession as basis for spinal manipulation.

Chiropractic helps correct Spinal Subluxation
We can and should make every effort to keep our spines as free as possible of these spinal subluxations. Some spinal subluxations may be prevented by common-sense living, but many will still occur.  It is important that we get our spines checked regularly by our chiropractor in order to correct spinal subluxations as soon as they occur.  Chiropractic care is essential to optimum body performance.  A properly functioning nerve system enables the body to reach its fullest potential in restoring and maintaining health, as well as, enhancing all the other areas of life such as job performance, academic excellence, and athletic accomplishment.
     Get your spine checked on a regular basis and experience the chiropractic difference for yourself!
