How does chiropractic work?

Chiropractic works because you are a self-healing, self-regulating organism controlled by your nervous system. Millions of instructions flow from your brain, down your spinal cord and out to every organ and tissue. Signals sent back to the brain confirm if your body is working right. Improper motion, position or tension in joints or muscles, called a subluxation, can interfere with this vital exchange of neurological information and thus compromise the function of all systems and tissues controlled by the nervous system. Specific adjustments to joints and muscles throughout your body can help improve brain/body communications. Health often returns with improved nervous system control of the body.
