Chiropractic is one of the healing arts that utilizes and emphasizes the body’s
inherent recuperative powers to heal itself. It deals primarily with the relationship
of the spinal vertebrae, the nerves that pass between the vertebrae and the
surrounding discs, muscles, connective tissue, and blood vessels. The art
and science of chiropractic is based on the premise that good health is the
result, a symptom if you will, of well-functioning tissues and chemical reactions
within the body. These aspects can, in part, be affected by the nervous system
that carries vital energy and electrical communications to all areas of the
body. If the flow of vital energy is restricted, the tissues supplied by this
innate vital force will suffer, and a state of disease will result. Chiropractic
then deals with this innate vital intelligence as it flows along nerves, and
the reduction and or elimination of restrictions on nerves as they pass between
the vertebrae.
