The Science
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system, your brain and spinal cord, controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. Your body is much like the Internet: your brain is your computer, your spinal cord is the information highway, your spinal vertebrae which house nerves, arteries and veins are the links to your organs, such as heart, lungs, intestines, reproductive organs. The disruption of the function of these tissues or organs and the nerve control is called VSC or Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Chiropractic is the science of finding these areas of spinal malfunction, the art of correcting them and the philosophy of all things natural as we have been created.

The Art
Like a surgeon who masters the skills of his trade, doctors of chiropractic master evaluating and adjusting the spine via specific spinal adjustments. Adjustment describes numerous techniques of directed and controlled pressure and forces to restore spinal segments to a more normal position and range of motion, aiding in increased flexibility, increased immunological function and increased life energy. Like surgery, the chiropracic adjustment or spinal manipulation is truly an art.

The Philosophy
Chiropractic recognizes that the power that created the body can heal the body - as long as there is no interference. The doctor does not heal you, he is a co-facilitator with you for your body to be put in the correct environment to heal itself. One of the main purposes of the chiropractic physician is to reduce interference to your nervous system and to help you to help yourself facilitate your inborn, innate healing ability.
