Physical, chemical and emotional stresses can cause a vertebra to move improperly. This misaligned vertebra that is irritating the nerve and the poorly functioning muscles and ligaments attached to it are called the Vertebral Subluxation Complex . Poor posture and decreased or painful movement are classic signs of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Chiropractors, using a gentle force with their hands called an adjustment, help the vertebra to move properly again. Once moving properly, which may take repeated adjustments over time, the nervous system can begin to function properly, restoring the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Health is a responsibility.
It doesn't come in a pill or potion. It is a reward for providing the body with the six basic ingredients. You can choose to be unhealthy or you can choose to improve your health. Part of the job of a chiropractor is to guide you to make that choice. But ultimately, it's your decision.
