What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normal functioning system (especially the spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body).

"Chiropractic" comes from the Greek word Chiropraktikos, meaning "effective treatment by hand."  Chiropractic stresses the idea that the cause of many disease processes begins with the body's inability to adapt to it's environment.

It looks to address these diseases not by the use of drugs and chemical, but by locating and adjusting a musculoskeletal area of the body, which is functioning improperly.
