What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on the relationship between the body's structure — mainly the spine — and its function. Chiropractors are unparalleled in their knowledge of the back and neck. Chiropractic treatment offers you hands-on, effective treatments which can help to relieve your pain.

How Chiropractic Works

Chiropractic treatment does not include surgery or medications. Instead, it offers you alternatives which are non-invasive, hands-on and effective. The most common chiropractic procedure is the spinal adjustment, a precise, gentle manipulation that restores proper alignment and movement to the spine.

What Is a Subluxation?

When one or more vertebrae lose their normal position, they interfere with the nerves they were meant to protect. This interference can cause pressure or irritation on the spinal cord and/or on the nerve roots as they pass out of the spinal column. This misalignment of the vertebrae and pinching of the nerves is called a subluxation — the most common aspect of what doctors call the vertebral subluxation complex.
