The body has a powerful innate ability to heal itself and maintain homeostasis. This innate function is controlled by the nervous system. The nervous system is made up of the central and peripheral nerves, which relay every movement and sensation from every cell, tissue, and organ in the body back to the brain.

If, along the way, there is dysfunction that interferes with the nervous system’s communication between the brain and the rest of the body, symptoms of dis-ease can appear and the body can no longer function correctly. We call this mechanism a subluxation.

Vertebral subluxations have many varied causes, including physical or mental trauma, environmental or chemical stressors, and even poor posture. Often, it is the small, everyday stresses placed on the spine and nervous system that cause the most frequent subluxations.

Chiropractors focus on reducing these stressors and realigning the spine by correcting spinal subluxations. By restoring proper nervous system communication throughout the body, we help return the body to optimal function and allow it to heal itself naturally.
