Chiropractic care is focused on restoring optimal function to the nervous system and maintaining health and wellness so the body functions to its maximum potentials.

  There is no part of your body that functions without influence of the nervous system.

  Every bodily function is controlled by nervous impulses traveling from your brain to every part of your body. Everything that you see, smell, taste, touch, and hear travel through nerves to your brain. Nerves make muscles move bones which move joints. It is a nervous impulse that tells your heart to beat and circulate your blood, your digestive system to function and make use of the food we eat, your lungs to breathe in fresh air, your reproductive system to function, and your glands and hormones to secrete and excrete properly.

  Having the nervous system function normally and optimally is the only way that the body can truly achieve and maintain health.

  As Doctors of Chiropractic, our approach to health is through the spine because it houses and protects the spinal cord. The spinal cord can be thought of as the switchboard of the nervous system because everything going to the brain and from the brain passes through it. Nerve roots come off of the spinal cord and pass through openings in the vertebra (spine bones) and from there they go to muscles, bones, organs, or skin.

  Your spine is made up of 24 individually moving vertebra and 31 pairs of nerve roots. When one of these vertebra get “stuck” or out of position in relation to the vertebra below it (or above it) it can interfere with the information being sent along the nerves.

  The word that chiropractors use to describe a bone that is out of position or fixated and causing interference with the nerve is subluxation. Subluxations can disturb normal function throughout the body and can be the root cause of many conditions. Doctors of Chiropractic are specifically trained in the detection and correction, through the adjustment, of these subluxations.
