What sets chiropractors apart is that they locate misaligned vertebra and realign them with a specific movement called an adjustment. By improving nervous system function, your doctor of chiropractic helps your body restore normal health and helps your body fight disease. Chiropractic adjustments are extremely safe with an estimated risk factor in excess of one million to one. Chiropractic is based on the concept that the body has an innate wisdom to regulate and heal itself, that each of us is born to be healthy, and that practicing lifestyles which encourage adequate diet, exercise, rest, and a properly functioning nervous system will maintain health. There is no effect without a cause.
Chiropractors adjust causes.
The research is showing that interference with the nervous system causes disease and that subluxations of the spine are related to organ pathology, meaning that disorders that occur from spinal interference are not limited to musculoskeletal problems, but include disorders of the organs as well. Correcting spinal subluxations through chiropractic adjustments gives you a better functioning nervous system and a better functioning nervous system prevents disease and helps maintain a healthy body.
