Chiropractic

Chiropractic medicine is a branch of alternative medicine where the licensed physician evaluates and treats disorders of the body via implementing spinal manipulative therapy (or an adjustment). Because the spinal column has several nerves that innervate or control organs including the heart, lungs, and stomach, as well as the extremities such as the arms and legs, palpation of the spine will reveal any restrictions or subluxations. These subluxations do not allow the joint to move properly, and in turn, they affect the functioning of the corresponding end organ. Spinal manipulative therapy removes nerve interference and results in proper nerve flow and optimal functioning of the end organ. Chiropractic care is effective for several reasons: maintaining health and wellness, pain control, improving the function of the body, and increasing the range of motion of the individual. For these reasons, chiropractic is used by athletes, actors, actresses, and models including Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Cindy Crawford, Chuck Norris, Christie Brinkley, and the list goes on and on.
