What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a science that believes your basic health comes from within you. It maintains that this health principle is expressed through the nervous system, and the brain is the receiving and sending station.

Normal health is a state in which there is no disturbance to nerve energy channels. The health principle must flow freely, the organs must also function normally.

Chiropractic believes also that the spine is the key to the nervous system and therefore to health, because all nerve trunks are distributed from the spinal column. Falls and accidents sometimes cause a slight displacement of vertebra and disc, partially blocking nerve channels. This irritates or “pinches” nerves, disturbs the transmission of nerve energy, lowers body resistance, impairs function and may cause many conditions and much pain.

Chiropractic scientifically locates and “adjusts” the spinal cause of many health problems. They generally use their hands to make the spinal adjustments which release the life force from within. Once the principle of God-given creative force is released, it tends to normalize functions and RESTORES HEALTH TO YOUR BODY.
