Q: What is Chiropractic?
A
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact
that your body is a self-regulating,
self-healing organism. These important functions
are controlled by the brain, spinal cord, and
all the nerves of the body.
The skull protects the delicate tissues of the
brain. The moving bones of the spine protect the
vulnerable communication pathways of the spinal
cord and nerve roots. If the nervous system is
impaired, it can cause malfunction of the tissue
and organs throughout the body. Chiropractic
doctors call this the Vertebral Subluxation
Complex. Vertebral, meaning the bones of the
spine. Subluxation, meaning the less than a
total dislocation, and Complex, meaning
consisting of more than one part.
