Chiropractic is based on applying scientific fact to stimulate your body's own resources. These self-healing functions are controlled by your brain, spinal cord, and nerves. An impaired nervous system due to illness, injury, or stress can cause tissues and organs throughout the body to function poorly, and is an underlying cause of many health problems.

Injury, stress, or chronic pain most often are the reasons that people turn to chiropractic care. Chiropractic naturally treats the underlying causes of these problems rather than just relieving symptoms. The chiropractic approach to better health is to locate and help correct interferences to your body's natural state of good health.

Many people think that chiropractors treat mainly orthopedic type conditions, such as backaches, sciatica, whiplash, and disc problems. These conditions do warrant trying chiropractic first. But there are other functional conditions - such as those that involve organs and internal glands - that benefit from chiropractic care. Every gland, organ and body tissue needs appropriate nerve supply to function properly. Doctors of chiropractic treat many conditions that can be as vast as the nervous system itself.
