What
is Chiropractic? |
|
|
|

From the
Greek words, Chiro, meaning hand and practice, meaning practice or
operation. The purpose of chiropractic care is the correction of nerve
interference. Nerve interference promotes sickness and disease. It
robs our vitality and weakens our immune system. |

An adjustment
is a specific manipulation of one or more spinal joints. The adjustment
is usually given by hand. It consists of placing the patient on an
adjusting table, and then applying pressure, using specialized chiropractic
techniques, to the areas of the spine that are out of proper alignment
or do not move properly within their normal range of motion. |
