Chiropractic is a science, art, and philosophy which concerns itself with the relationship between the nervous system and the function (health) of the body. The profession of chiropractic began in 1895. The use of manipulation to promote health, such as the type performed by chiropractors, has been documented more than 1000 years ago. Chiropractors use conservative methods to create the optimal environment for healing. Chiropractic treatments affect the health of nerves, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and other tissues. The nervous system controls every tissue, organ, and cell of the human body. By stimulating your nervous system, we merely help your body to heal itself. This holistic approach addresses the cause(s) of symptoms and corrects them. A continually growing body of evidence published in peer-review medical journals substantiates the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care.
