How does chiropractic work?

Chiropractic works because you are a
self-healing organism controlled and
regulated by your nervous system.
Millions of instructions flow from your
brain, down the spinal cord, and out to
every organ and tissue. Signals sent
back to the brain confirm whether your
body is working as it should. Improper
motion or position of the moving
bones of the spine may interfere with
this vital exchange by irritating nearby
nerves and the tissues they control.
Precise chiropractic adjustments are
intended to improve mind/body
communications. Health often returns
with improved nervous system control
of the body.

Is chiropractic scientific?

Chiropractic is a science, art and
philosophy. It's a scientific fact that
your brain and nervous system control
every cell, tissue and organ of your
body. Research confirms that
interferences to the nervous system
change the way the body functions.
Nerve interferences are most common
along the spine. Objective tests help
locate these interferences, called
subluxations, and precise chiropractic
adjustments are designed to help correct
or reduce them.
