Chiropractic is a natural, drug-free approach to health and wellness that works with your body's innate ability to heal itself. This holistic approach to health is based on three principles:

The first and most important principle that the body is a self-healing organism. This means that our bodies are designed to heal themselves. When you are sick or injured, your body initiates its healing abilities to normalize the problem and return you to optimum health.

The second principle is that the nervous system is the master system of the body. It controls every system, organ, tissue and cell. This includes your immune system, which directly impacts health.

The last principle is that the structure of your spine has a direct and critical impact on the functioning of your nervous system. The spinal cord is the lifeline from the brain to the rest of the systems of the body, and its messages travel through the spinal column. Injury to your spine from trauma, stress, or poor posture can cause nerve interference. Nerve interference can adversely affect the body's systems, organs and tissues. This may or may not manifest symptoms such as pain, fatigue or altered performance.

Chiropractic is concerned with correcting the structure of the spine to maintain optimal performance of the nervous system and thus, better health for the patient. This is accomplished by gently adjusting the position of the spine into an optimum state.
