Modern Chiropractic:

THE CHIROPRACTIC PRACTICE OBJECTIVE:
The professional practice objective of chiropractic is to correct vertebral subluxations, also referred to as nerve interference, in a safe and effective manner. The correction of nerve interference is not considered to be a specific cure for any particular symptom or disease. It is applicable to any patient who exhibits nerve interference regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms or disease.

Today, chiropractic has come a long way from D.D. Palmer's practice in Davenport, Iowa. Specifically, the chiropractor determines the presence of nerve interference and helps the body correct itself by introducing a force in a prescribed manner. Contrary to popular misinformation, the Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) doesn't force the misaligned vertebrae back into place but he or she facilitates the body's correction of nerve interference.

During the adjustment, the subluxated vertebrae are unlocked and released from their misaligned positions. The body's inborn intelligence is called upon to shape the spine. When this happens, the vertebrae return to their proper alignment and the normal nerve supply is restored. This allows one to achieve maximum healing potential with a complete nerve supply.

This website, explains what chiropractic is, how it works and what it can do for you and your family. In no way are we suggesting that you should never consult a medical physician. There are surgeries that must be performed, and wounds, broken bones and internal injuries that require medical treatment.

However, you will realize that when confronted with a physical problem, your safest and most effective first choice for general health care should be a chiropractor. You will understand why medicine should be used as the last resort--when the body cannot heal itself without intervention.

Wisdom dictates that you begin the healing process with conservative care that doesn't cause any side effects.

Our recommendation:
Chiropractic first, drugs second, and surgery last.


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.

The spinal column consists of twenty-four small bones called vertebrae. Seven of these are located in the neck. Twelve are found in the mid-back and five are in the lower back. The vertebrae stack one on top of the other, and when you look at them from front to back, they form a straight line.

It's very rare to find someone with a spine that's perfectly aligned. In most people, the spine curves slightly to the right or left and sometimes, one or more of the vertebrae are twisted or rotated.

When the vertebrae are misaligned, the flow of messages from the brain to all the other cells in the body are distorted. This type of nerve interference creates dis-organization of bodily processes and dis-ease. This misalignment of the vertebrae can often exist undetected and slowly undermine one's health.
