Frequently asked questions
What Is Chiropractic?
The body is designed to heal itself. Tension, misalignment or subluxation of the spine can interfere with the flow of information along your nerves, which in turn can affect a variety of bodily functions, presenting as symptoms. Chiropractic is about improving your overall health and well-being by looking at your spine and nervous system.
