Chiropractic works by correcting postural imbalances and misalignments that happen to our bodies over time. Years of stress, poor posture, old accidents and injuries, as well as new technology strains can cause our spines to shift out of normal alignment and lock up, giving rise to abnormal stress on our nervous systems. This misalignments are called subluxations. Chiropractors utilize the adjustment to correct subluxations by correcting alignment to take pressure off the nerves and allow the body to heal naturally, without the use of drugs or surgery.
