Have you ever wondered about chiropractic?  Have you ever wanted more information but didn’t know what to ask? Here are some common questions and answers.

What are vertebrae?

 Vertebrae are the bones in your back that fit together so the nerve supply produced in your brain can filter down your spinal cord and out over your nerves. The nerves are responsible for communicating information throughout your body so the the proper growth, repair, and healing can take place. When vertebrae are out of their natural alignment, the potential for nerve interference is great.

What is a chiropractic adjustment?

Doctors of chiropractic gently press on your back to line the vertebrae up into their natural position. There are different degrees of misalignment, so the process could take weeks or months. As the alignment is being restored, the nerve supply is more effectively communicating throughout your body and healing is taking place. As your body gradually heals, the symptoms begin to diminish. Visit “How should I feel after an adjustment?” for more information.

What is a subluxation?

When nerves become stretched or twisted, the vital communication from the brain is disrupted. These neurological disruptions are called subluxations. Chiropractors correct the subluxations so that normal body function may take place.

Is chiropractic safe?

Chiropractic is a safe and natural approach to health care. It does not try to stimulate or inhibit normal body function. Instead, the chiropractor addresses the important relationship between the nervous system and disease. Visit “What does a chiropractor do?” for more information.
