It's simple. It's instinctive. Naturally -- it's Chiropractic! 

An absolutely unique genetic blueprint was produced when you were conceived, a blueprint dictating everything from the curliness of your hair to the color of your eyes. Following that blueprint, your nervous system (consisting of your brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of your body) was the first system to be formed -- in order to control and organize your overall growth. 

The function of every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body is still controlled by that same nervous system, in the following configuration: 

Your brain -- protected by your skull. 

Your brain-linked spinal cord -- covered and protected by the 24 moving bones of the spinal column. 

Your spinal cord's nerve roots -- branching out from between the spinal joints complete the circuit that serves the organs and tissues of your body. 

In a busy life like yours, there are many opportunities for trauma that may affect the position and/or motion of the spinal bones, resulting in irritation or isolation of delicate nerves. As a matter of fact, the first source of nervous system interference may occur as early as birth, and be compounded by poor diet, long periods of sitting, sports injuries, car accidents, stress, and many other everyday activities that can disturb the alignment of the bones covering your spinal cord. When the critical nerve supply is slowed or interrupted by such trauma, affected organs and tissues are more susceptible to disease, often producing the symptoms of pain and ill health. Headaches and low back pain, for example, are often tracked back to spinal malfunction and nervous system interference. 

Doctors of Chiropractic specialize in detecting, reducing, and preventing nervous system interference. After earning an undergraduate degree, today's Doctors of Chiropractic receive an additional four years of government-accredited post-graduate college education -- plus additional board-mandated education each year in most states. Before doctors can start practicing they must also pass an exhaustive National Board Examination and meet stringent licensing requirements. 

In analyzing your health and determining the cause of any health problems, Chiropractic doctors examine your spine to locate any areas that may be causing nervous system interference. They will show you the precise locations of any such interference and provide you with specific recommendations for your Chiropractic program. Your doctor will use carefully directed and controlled pressure to return malfunctioning spinal bones to their proper motion and position, reducing nerve interference. This procedure is called a Chiropractic adjustment. 

There are many ways to adjust the spine, and millions of Chiropractic adjustments are safely delivered every day to enable bodies to heal themselves. Even newborns receive Chiropractic adjustments. And Chiropractic adjustments not only feel good, they are safer than back surgery, muscle relaxers, and even aspirin! 

The Chiropractic approach to better health is to remove interference to your own inborn ability to heal. Regardless what types of physicians you consult, remember that it your body that heals, not the doctor. 

Chiropractic makes sense. It is scientific. It is delivered by well-educated doctors focused on both your immediate health and your long-term wellness. 

Chiropractic is safe. It is natural. It works at correcting the underlying cause(s) of your problem rather than treating the symptoms. And as millions can attest, Chiropractic works.
