Chiropractic is a health care science that focuses on the body's innate ability to heal itself.  Chiropractic philosophy is deeply rooted in science and neurology, and is bound by one absolute principle:  Innate Intelligence.  Chiropractic philosophy states that the expression of innate intelligence can be interfered with when subluxation occurs.  Chiropractors detect and correct vertebral subluxation through the Chiropractic Adjustment.  When the body is free of subluxation and Nervous System Interference, the body can optimally heal itself.  The glossary page will help define some of these key terms.

 
Although it is best known for treating back and neck pain, Chiropractic does not treat any symptoms.  Instead of treating the disease, Chiropractic treats the person who has the disease.  Symptoms are merely a sign of an underlying problem.  Covering a symptom will never correct the cause.  Chiropractic has the potential to help a person with any ailment as it's the patient's body that does the healing.
