What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is the fastest growing natural health care profession in the world. It was discovered in 1895 in Davenport, Iowa, U.S.A. D.C.'s (Doctors of Chiropractic) specialize in locating and correcting a serious condition known as Vertebral Subluxation. A subluxation is a misalignment of one or more of the twenty-four moveable bones of the spine. Subluxations occur when an individual does not have their spine regularly checked from birth. They are most commonly caused by stresses and impacts to the body from poor posture, poor sleeping habits, slips and falls, vehicular accidents, sports impacts, strenuous exercise, work injuries, childhood falls, and the birth process. Subluxations cause dangerous stress to the spinal chord and the delicate spinal nerves as they exit the spine between the spinal bones. This causes irritation to the nerves and affects the body's ability to heal. Nerve interference causes increased susceptibility to disease and disorder in the body. Ill health eventually results. Unfortunately subluxations are most often painless and often go undetected for years.
