What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic originated in 1895 and is based upon the law of biology that states that inborn into all living things is the ability to be well. Our spine acts as a protective armour for our nervous system, which controls and co-ordinates all the functions of the body. Millions of messages pass from the brain out to the organs and tissues through the spinal cord and nerves, and signals are sent back through the same pathway to the brain to confirm if the body is working correctly.

Misalignments of the spinal joints, called subluxations, can occur from everyday stresses, strains and occasional traumas, pushing the bones out of ideal alignment. Subluxations can cause interference to the nervous system by irritating nerves and compromising the function of affected organs and tissues. Specific spinal adjustments remove subluxations, helping to improve mind-body communications and return health to the body as nervous system integrity is restored. That’s how chiropractic care has helped millions get well and stay well!
