According to Chiropractic Medicine, the spine is the foundation of good health. Chiropractors detect and work to correct subluxation of the vertebrae with spinal manipulations. Misalignments ultimately lead to health issues such as back pain, neck pain, digestive disorders, TMJ, headaches, insomnia, hyperactivity, allergies and more.
Chiropractors apply force to locked areas clearing them and increasing nerve flow to areas supplied by spinal nerves. This is done to restore spinal movement and to increase mobility. Chiropractic medicine is a drug-free, alternative approach to health and seeks to affect the bodies own self-healing properties.
