How Chiropractic Works

Chiropractors locate spinal misalignments called vertebral subluxations by using examination and sometimes x-rays, and correct them by a procedure called a spinal adjustment.  A subluxation is a condition in which a vertebra or articulation misaligns, impinges (on) nerves, and interferes with the normal transmission of nerve impulses.  The correction of these subluxations helps remove nerve interference.  This restores the body’s innate ability to heal itself and to achieve a state of optimum wellness.  Subluxations may be caused by bad sleeping habits, poor posture, strenuous exercise, repetitive motion, as well as, injuries from accidents, sports and slips or falls.
