How Chiropractic Works
Chiropractic helps you by working to free your nervous system of interference from subluxations. This then allows your body’s own innate healing power to help heal you and improve the overall quality of your life.
Millions of people have found that chiropractic helped them return to health after suffering with many different kinds of health problems. No matter what type of health situation you find yourself in, you will always be better off with a properly functioning nervous system free of Interference from subluxations.
Your body is self-healing. This means your body can correct most of its own health problems. The human body is a marvelous organism in which the nervous system is used to regulate and control resistance to disease, healing, repair, and all other functions needed for health and healing. Every organ in your body has a precise and specific function related to your health and well being.
SO, WILL CHIROPRACTIC HELP ME?
In a word, YES! But it is your body that ultimately heals you and helps you feel better. Chiropractors do not claim to heal you or cure you. Healing come from inside you.
Your nervous system is the master controller of all functions in your body. It is the job of your nervous system to see that every organ and system is functioning properly and therefore keeping you healthy. Any interference to your nervous system will affect the function of your body and therefore affect your body’s ability to keep you healthy.
What the chiropractor does is to locate and remove interference to your nervous system and thus allow your body’s innate healing abilities to work at their maximum.
THE SUBLUXATION
A subluxation (a.k.a. Vertebral Subluxation) is when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves. For example when the nerves in your neck are irritated you might get a headache or tingling in your hand. If the nerves in your low back are irritated you might experience ‘sciatica’.
Chiropractors seek to correct subluxations by a series of specific chiropractic adjustments to your spine. By correcting these subluxations you are allowing your nervous system to work normally and the result is that your body will heal itself.
THE ADJUSTMENT
A chiropractic adjustment is a specific procedure of moving spinal vertebrae for the purpose of correction of vertebral subluxations.

A properly given chiropractic adjustment is designed to correct interference to the nervous system from subluxations.
