Chiropractic concerns itself with the relationship between structure (primarily the spine)
and function (primarily coordinated by the nervous system) of the human body, and how
that relationship affects the restoration and preservation of
health.
The Focus of Chiropractic Care is on the Integrity of Your Nervous System
Spinal vertebrae can become misaligned or fixated causing interference to the joint and its
associated structures. Chiropractors have historically referred to these as subluxations.
Many synonyms (joint blockage, joint dysfunction, aberrant articulation) exist for this
theoretical model which can cause pain, restriction of mobility, imbalance and many other
symptoms.
Chiropractors

locating and then working with patients to consider
