CHIROPRACTIC

Is a system of treatment based on the belief that the foundation of good health is the unhampered flow of nerve impulses that originate in the brain and spinal cord and then travel to all parts of the body.
Therapy begins with analyzing the patient's spinal column for abnormal alignments of the vertebrae. When such misalignments, called subluxations, are located, they are corrected by manipulation to restore the normal flow of nerve impulses.
Many chiropractors also make recommendations about nutrition and exercise, but they don't prescribe drugs or do surgery.
