Chiropractic is a therapy that emphasizes diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of misalignment of your spine. Misalignment of your spinal column can negatively affect the tissues and organs throughout your body.

Chiropractic therapy is based on the correction of subluxation of your spinal column. The word “subluxation” comes from the Latin words meaning “somewhat or slight” (sub) and “to dislocate” (luxate).  So the term ‘vertebral subluxation’ literally means a slight dislocation or misalignment of the bones in your spine.  When your spine is even slightly out of alignment, it can impinge on the spinal nerves that branch out to your muscles and various organs.  Restoring proper alignment of your spine can have positive effects on all areas of your health.

Through gentle manipulation, a skilled chiropractor can correct the misaligned bone and allow it to return to its proper position. This procedure - called an adjustment, allows your body to heal.
