Chiropractic Treatment

Chiropractic is a profession based on the tenet that because of the spine’s intimate relationship with the nervous system, dysfunction in spinal or extremity joints can alter normal function of the nervous system. Because the nervous system controls and regulates all of the cells, tissues, and organs of the body, interference of the normal function of the nervous system can manifest itself in many ways, such as: pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, abnormal organ function, etc. If abnormal joint motion exists, this often creates adverse “tension” or “pressure” on the nervous system, thus not allowing the nervous system to function optimally. This condition is often referred to as a “subluxation” or a joint complex dysfunction. Additionally, abnormal joint motion can lead to compensation injuries as other joints and muscles are required to work harder than usual. Chiropractors locate and manually correct these areas of imbalance in the spine and extremities and then rehabilitate the structures surrounding these joints in order to achieve stability, thus correcting the underlying cause of the problem.
