Chiropractic is a way of looking at the human body as a whole. It’s based on the idea that the body is selfÂ-sustaining and selfÂ-healing. You know that your body is controlled by your brain, but the spinal cord and vast network of nerves that carry its messages are just as important. When this system is not functioning at its peak, your body’s overall performance suffers. In the chiropractic world, we don’t use drugs to treat our patients. Chiropractic treats the problem naturally and in turn prompts the body to heal itself.
