Chiropractic is based on the fact that the body is self-regulating and self-healing.
 The system that allows the body to be maintained in a state of ‘Health’ is called the Central Nervous System. This system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and network of nerves that supply the body. When this system is not functioning properly the overall performance of the body is diminished.

Chiropractors understand that certain mechanical, chemical and emotional stressors can inhibit the nervous system’s ability to allow the body to perform at its optimal level. 
Not only do chiropractors focus on the mechanical stresses (injuries/strains/occupation) that affect the nervous system but they also help patients with chemical stresses (nutrition) and emotional stress.
