The spine houses and protects the spinal cord. The 31 pairs of spinal nerves branch off the spinal cord between every vertebrae and travel to every part of the body communicating to every tissue, organ and gland. Ideally the nerves should provide 100% communication between the brain and every cell.

Normal stress/tension can, little by little, cause misalignment of a vertebra with pressure on a spinal nerve (subluxation). Over time this may affect the body as a whole leading to a variety of symptoms. Doctors of Chiropractic are trained to analyze, locate and remove interferences in the nervous system.

Symptoms are the last thing to come and the first thing to go. People respond quickly to chiropractic care as balance is restored. Everyone is different and every process takes time. Symptoms like pain or not being able to take a full breath usually go away quickly while changing the structure ofthe spinal column takes longer.
