About Chiropractic

 

The purpose of chiropractic is to provide a healthcare contact for wellness and the optimization of health. Chiropractic is defined as a healthcare discipline, which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.

 

The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

 

In addition, Doctors of Chiropractic recognize the value and responsibility of working in cooperation with other healthcare practitioners.

What is a Subluxation? A subluxation is a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular changes that compromise neural integrity and may affect organ system function and general health. A subluxation is evaluated, diagnosed, and managed through the use of chiropractic procedures based on the best available rational and empirical evidence.
