Chiropractic
Chiropractic is one of the oldest, natural health care fields. Chiropractic addresses health issues by maximizing the body's natural ability to heal and maintain it's own health.
Chiropractic care will increase function through normalizing body structure, joint motion, nerve function and soft tissue balance without the use of drugs or surgery. Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between body structure (spine and extremities) and body function (nervous system) and how that relationship affects one's health.
Simply put,
Chiropractic helps the body help itself by removing the barriers that are preventing the body's systems to perform at their optimum.

How chiropractic is performed
Chiropractic treatment is performed by the use of non-invasive approaches including chiropractic adjustments or manipulation, along with soft tissue work, rehabilitation/exercise, and other physiotherapies.
The adjustment is the primary treatment. An adjustment is the specific and gentle force placed into a joint and surrounding soft tissue, performed for the purpose of restoring normal nerve function, joint range of motion and position.
