Chiropractic is the health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent, recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic is based upon the scientific fact that your nervous system runs and controls every cell, tissue, organ, system and function of your body. Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.
Subluxations, or misalignments, of the spinal structures (Cranium, 24 vertebra & pelvic bones) and the nervous system cause malfunctions of the nerves and organs and therefore sickness and disease. Extremities have a fundamental effect on the spinal structures and nervous system and therefore may be a cause of spinal subluxations. Contact Us
Chiropractors are recognized as being the specialists in the science, art and philosophy of detecting and correcting subluxations, thus optimizing one's health.
Modern chiropractic was first discovered in 1895 by a natural healer, Dr. Daniel D. Palmer. Dr Palmer had a janitor named Harvey Lillard who had been deaf for 17 years. When Dr. Palmer examined his neck and upper back he found what we now know as a subluxation. Dr. Palmer adjusted Harvey Lillard's subluxation and his hearing returned shortly thereafter.
Over the ensuing years chiropractic has had a phenomenal growth due to its miraculous results.
Initially however, chiropractic faced stern challenges from the medical fraternity and many chiropractors were thrown into jail for 'practicing medicine without a license'. Thankfully public opinion demanded the acceptance of chiropractic and it has now taken its rightful place as a primary health care provider.
Chiropractors are now licensed in most countries around the world.
As published in recent studies, chiropractic has proven to be more
effective in care of health conditions, especially treatment for Lower Back
pain, when compared to other forms of care such as Osteopathy and
traditional Medical treatment.*
