Chiropractors are different from every healthcare professional in that they focus on balancing the nervous system.   The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves that travel out into the body.   It controls every function of the body including digestion, immune response, pain response, plus much more.  Anything that interferes with the nervous system will cause altered function, or disease.  These interferences are called “subluxations,” or misalignments in the spine that inhibit the nervous system from functioning normally.  By removing subluxations of the spine, we allow the body a chance to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.
