The body was designed to be a self healing, self regulating organism. The control center of the body is the nervous system, comprised of brain and spinal cord. The nervous system branches out from the spinal cord and is protected by your spine. Due to stress (physical, chemical or emotional) your spine can become misaligned. The objective of chiropractic treatment is to reduce the misalignment, with the goal of increasing range of motion, reducing nerve irritability and improving function. The main purpose of a chiropractor is to reduce interference to your inborn, innate healing ability.
