    The Science: Since it’s beginning, chiropractic has been
    based on the scientific fact that the nervous system
    controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ, and
    system of your body.

    While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is
    more vulnerable, covered by 24 moving vertebrae. When
    these bones lose their normal motion or position, they can
    irritate the nervous system. This disrupts the function of
    the tissues or organs the nerves control, and is called the
    Vertebral Subluxation Complex or Subluxation Syndrome.

    Today’s Doctor of Chiropractic takes four years of post-
    graduate college education to master the adjusting “art” of
    chiropractic.

In addition to the science and art, Chiropractic philosophy recognizes that only the power
that created the body can heal the body—if there isn’t any interference.

Instead of covering up your symptoms with drugs, chiropractic looks to correct the
underlying cause(s).

    Chiropractic is the science of locating these areas of spinal
    joint dysfunction, the art of correcting them, and the
    philosophy of things natural.

    The Art: After a thorough examination and a review of your
    health history, your chiropractic doctor will recommend a
    specific care program. If yours is a chiropractic case, this
    will include specific spinal adjustments.

     The words “chiropractic adjustment” describes ways using
    a carefully directed and controlled pressure to restore
    spinal bones to a more normal position or motion. When
    spinal function is improved, nervous system function
    (health) can improve too.

After years of training, chiropractic doctors become experts at using the right amount of
force in the right direction. This may require a quick movement or in other instances a slow
and constant pressure. The chiropractic adjustment is truly an art.

The Philosophy: Your chiropractor will focus on reducing or removing any interferences to
your own inborn healing abilities.

Your nervous system controls everything.

Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your nervous system controls the function
of virtually every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body. Your nervous system
consists of your brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of your body.


Chiropractic is the science, art, and philosophy that concerns itself with the relationship
between the nervous system and the function (health) of the body.

THE CHIROPRACTIC LIFESTYLE

Chiropractors are experts in the care of the bones, nerves, muscles and connective
tissues that make up about 60% of your body. All of the joints in your body are part of this
musculo-skeletal system and its optimal function is necessary for overall good health. Ask
your Doctor of Chiropractic for more information about a care program that may include
specific spinal adjustments, exercise recommendations, nutritional advice or other
conservative methods of care based on your health history, age, current condition and
lifestyle.
