Gentle, artful chiropractic is essential and possible, no matter a patient’s age, size, weight or health condition. Chiropractic adjustments gently restore motion to joint subluxations (limitations in motion), and balanced function to nerves, irritated by subluxations.
Chiropractic is a philosophy, science and art.
CHIROPRACTIC PHILOSOPHY embraces the vitalism of the body’s natural ability to express its health potential to the fullest. "The power that made the body can heal the body" (BJ Palmer, DC, co-founder of Chiropractic).
CHIROPRACTIC SCIENCE includes the relationship between the spine and nervous system, and its effect on the body’s innate function to express and maintain good health, and to self-heal from imbalance.
CHIROPRACTIC ART entails knowledge, skill and dexterity to locate and correct spinal subluxations (joint limitation of motion and consequent irritation to nerve function), which impair the body’s ability to maintain optimal function and health.
