Chiropractors work with spine and nerve system (spinal cord and spinal nerves). The nerve system controls all functions of the body. Interference with normal nerve function by the spine is called Vertebral Subluxation.

Chiropractors gently adjust the spinal bones (vertebrae) to remove or correct nerve interference caused by Vertebral Subluxations. In most case, the body is able to heal itself once the nerve interference has been corrected or reduced. Improved health, functionality, and wellness is the result.

At what age should a person be checked for Vertebral Subluxations and nerve interference?

The first Vertebral Subluxation is often caused by the birth process. While C-sections, vacuum extraction, and forceps deliveries are always traumatic for the newborn, normal deliveries often cause significant spine and nerve trauma.

A chiropractic examination following birth should be an integral part of all infants' health and wellness program.

Does the Chiropractic approach to health and wellness include the use of drugs and surgery?

No. The Chiropractic approach to health is one that puts no foreign substances into the body nor takes anything from the body. The human body is self-healing and by reducing and eliminating nerve interference the chiropractor helps the body regulate, rebuild, and heal itself.
