What Is Chiropractic?

Taking a Natural Systemic Approach to Healing 

Chiropractic is an overall perspective of how the human body is perceived.  It is based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing.  The body is, in essence, completely controlled by the brain through its connections via the spinal cord and the vast networks of nerves that make up the body.  When this system is not functioning at its peak, the overall performance of the human body is severely lacking.

In the chiropractic world, drugs and medicine are not utilized as a form of treatment.  While supplementation and nutrition are almost always a part of the bigger picture, drugs and prescriptions can be viewed merely as band-aids to treat symptoms rather than going to the source and treating the real problem.

While it is often perceived that the chiropractor is solely here to treat back and neck pain, that is simply a small piece of what the profession is capable of handling.  Chiropractors not only treat soft and hard tissue problems such as sciatica and joint pain, but they are largely called on to deal with more significant issues.  Some of these more severe issues include fibromyalgia, allergies, insomnia, headaches, and many more.
