How Does Chiropractic Promote Wellness?

Many people seek Chiropractic care for back or neck pain.  But chiropractors know that adjustments are good for your general health too. 

The nervous system is the one system in the body that directly affects every other system.  This is because nerves conduct sensory information from every part of the body and deliver it to the brain.  Once there, the brain analyzes the information to determine what the body needs to maintain a healthy state.  So the health of this system is critical to the good health of the rest of the body.

Misalignments in the spine can interfere with the proper nervous system function.  These "subluxations" cause imbalance, irritation, and inflammation.  That then affects the flow of information transmitted along the nerve.  Loss of correct communication within the body leads to poor health.  Chiropractors are the only health care professionals specifically trained to locate and correct spinal subluxations.
