What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism. These important functions are controlled by the brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of the body. The significance of the nervous system is to co-ordinate every process between the mind and body.

The skull protects the delicate tissues of the brain. The moving bones of the spine protect the vulnerable communication pathways of the spinal cord and nerve roots.

The nerves that come off the spinal cord supply the organs (skin being the largest organ) and muscles.

Chiropractors assess the nerve and joint function of the cranium, spine and extremity joints for areas of restriction (mechanical joint dysfunction) that compromise neural integrity and influence general health & wellbeing.
