| The aim of chiropractic is to correct joint
misalignments that impair function. Restoration of joint
function reduces pain and inflammation, strengthens supportive
muscles and tendons, and increases mobility. When joints
perform properly, your body performs properly. |

Chiropractic is a healing art practiced by
licensed doctors over 60 countries. Treatment is centered
around the spine and its supporting structures. There are
various means of treating the spine, the most common being
the chiropractic adjustment. The adjustment is a quick controlled
thrust delivered by the hand to restore misaligned joints
and faulty joint proprioceptors (nerves that control reflex
functions).
The chiropractor is a licensed physician trained to perform
physical examinations and take x-rays when required to make
a diagnosis. |
