Chiropractic view the nervous system, consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, as vital in regulating the body's functions. The spine is particularly crucial as it safeguards the spinal cord and facilitates nerve signals between the brain and body. However, misalignments in the spine, known as vertebral subluxations, can disrupt the nervous system's functioning and impede the body's natural healing processes due to factors like poor posture or injuries.

Chiropractic care centers on identifying and correcting these vertebral subluxations through spinal adjustments or manipulations. By realigning the spine and restoring the nervous system's integrity, chiropractic care aim to enhance the body's self-healing abilities and overall well-being. The adjustments are believed to improve nerve communication, blood flow, and inflammation reduction, leading to better adaptation to stress, improved injury recovery, and sustained optimal health.
