WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Welcome new, veteran and prospective chiropractic patients!
Thank you in advance for taking the time to discover chiropractic and its powerful effects on human health.
Each year, more than 15 million North Americans choose chiropractic for safe, natural and effective relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches, extremity pain, poor overall health, low energy levels and much more.
According to The Association of Chiropractic Colleges, “Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs and surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.”
THE GOAL OF CHIROPRACTIC
Because chiropractic treatments are primarily applied to the spinal region, many individuals incorrectly assume that chiropractors treat only back and neck ailments. While we can quickly and effectively eliminate back and neck pain, it’s not the only goal. The objective is to restore and optimize human health. In fact, according to a statement from The Association of Chiropractic Colleges, “The purpose of chiropractic is to optimize health.”
HOW CHIROPRACTIC WORKS
You may be wondering… how can the same chiropractic treatment which effectively treats my back pain also optimize my health? The answer can be found by looking into the relationship between the spine and the nervous system.
As you may already know, the nervous system is the master controller of all living cells, tissues and organs; orchestrating and coordinating all cellular functions. The spinal column encases the nervous system (spinal cord and nerve roots) and is responsible for its protection.
Because of this intimate relationship, biomechanical and structural problems in the spinal column can irritate parts of the enclosed nervous system. This irritation can result from noxious inflammatory biochemicals released during tissue injury or may result from direct mechanical pressure. In either case, the functioning of the nervous system is negatively influenced, as is the functioning of the cells, tissues and organs which are supplied by the affected nerve(s).
The resulting ailment(s) depends on the cells, tissues and organs affected as well as the extent of nervous system compromise.
In short, because the body’s innate recuperative powers are affected by and integrated through the nervous system, correcting spinal abnormalities which irritate the nervous system can lead to a number of favorable results in patients suffering from various, seemingly non-spinal health conditions.
WHAT CHIROPRACTORS DO?
Practically speaking, chiropractors are primarily concerned with locating and treating vertebral subluxations.
A vertebral subluxation is a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular (joint) changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health.
Using a number of unique and highly refined skills, the chiropractor checks the patient’s spine for any misalignments, fixations or other abnormalities (vertebral subluxations). If subluxations or other abnormalities are detected, the chiropractor will generally apply a gentle force in a corrective manner to the affected spinal area.
Chiropractors use many specialized techniques to identify and treat these spinal abnormalities and optimize overall health. In addition to spinal adjustive techniques, soft tissue techniques such as massage, dietary and nutritional counseling, physical therapies, and lifestyle modification programs are commonly employed.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC DIFFERS
There is a significant and very important difference between the way chiropractors and medical doctors approach health ailments. When evaluating and treating patients, chiropractors take a holistic approach which includes identifying and correcting the cause(s) of the patient’s health ailment. In contrast, the medical approach tends to focus more on treating the symptoms of a condition rather than focusing primarily on the actual cause(s).
Chiropractors believe that correcting the cause of the problem provides significant long-term benefits over only treating the symptoms and TRANSFORMATION and enjoying an exciting journey TOGETHER.

The Benefits of Chiropractic
-
Spinal and Extremity Pain Relief
Chiropractic care focuses on alleviating pain in the spine and extremities by addressing misalignments, joint dysfunction, and nerve compression. Through spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises, chiropractors help reduce pain caused by conditions such as sciatica, herniated discs, arthritis, and sports injuries. By restoring proper alignment and function, chiropractic treatments provide natural, non-invasive pain relief.
-
Headache Relief
Many headaches, including tension headaches and migraines, are linked to spinal misalignments, poor posture, and muscle tension. Chiropractic care targets these underlying causes through spinal adjustments, neck manipulations, and posture correction. By improving spinal alignment and reducing nerve irritation, chiropractic treatments can help decrease headache frequency and intensity, offering a drug-free approach to headache relief.
-
Increased Mobility and Range of Motion
Restricted movement and stiffness in the spine or joints can significantly impact daily activities and overall quality of life. Chiropractic adjustments, along with stretching and rehabilitative exercises, help restore proper joint function, allowing for smoother and more fluid movements. This increased mobility benefits athletes, seniors, and individuals recovering from injuries by improving flexibility and physical performance.
-
Decreased Stiffness and Muscle Spasms
Muscle stiffness and spasms often result from poor posture, spinal misalignments, and nerve irritation. Chiropractic care addresses these issues by realigning the spine, relieving pressure on nerves, and promoting better circulation. Soft tissue therapy and corrective exercises further help to relax tense muscles, reducing discomfort and preventing future spasms.
-
Increased Joint Health
Healthy joints are essential for mobility and long-term well-being. Chiropractic care enhances joint health by improving alignment, reducing inflammation, and promoting better movement patterns. Regular adjustments help prevent wear and tear, support cartilage health, and reduce the risk of degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis. Chiropractic treatments also encourage the body’s natural healing processes, keeping joints strong and functional.
More Benefits
-
Increased Performance and Energy
Chiropractic care helps optimize nervous system function by ensuring proper spinal alignment and reducing nerve interference. When the spine and joints are correctly aligned, the body can move more efficiently, reducing fatigue and improving overall performance. Athletes, professionals, and active individuals often experience increased endurance, strength, and energy levels, allowing them to perform daily tasks and physical activities with greater ease.
-
Increased Sense of Well-Being and Relaxation
Regular chiropractic adjustments help alleviate stress on the nervous system, which plays a vital role in overall health and emotional well-being. By relieving tension in the spine and muscles, chiropractic care promotes relaxation, reduces stress hormones, and encourages the release of endorphins—natural "feel-good" chemicals. Patients often report better sleep, reduced anxiety, and an improved sense of well-being after treatment.
-
Increased Balance and Coordination
Proper spinal alignment and nerve function are essential for balance and coordination. Misalignments in the spine can disrupt signals between the brain and body, leading to instability and an increased risk of falls. Chiropractic care improves proprioception (the body's ability to sense movement and position), helping individuals maintain better balance, especially important for older adults, athletes, and those recovering from injuries.
-
Reduced Degeneration and Risk of Injury
Chiropractic adjustments help prevent excessive wear and tear on joints and discs by maintaining proper alignment and movement. When the spine and extremities are in optimal condition, there is less strain on muscles, ligaments, and tendons, reducing the likelihood of injuries. Regular chiropractic care can slow down degenerative processes, such as arthritis, and keep the body functioning at its best for longer.
-
Enhanced Tissue Healing
Chiropractic care promotes faster recovery by improving blood flow, reducing nerve interference, and ensuring proper alignment of bones and soft tissues. When the body is in balance, oxygen and nutrients can reach injured areas more efficiently, speeding up the healing process. This is beneficial for individuals recovering from sports injuries, surgeries, or chronic pain conditions.
-
Decreased Tissue Inflammation
Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury, but chronic inflammation can lead to pain and long-term health issues. Chiropractic adjustments help reduce inflammation by restoring proper joint function, relieving pressure on nerves, and improving circulation. This natural approach can ease discomfort from conditions like arthritis, sciatica, and muscle strain, promoting overall healing and wellness.
