What is a Chiropractor?
Chiropractors are concerned with the connection between the brain and the body because it is the nervous system that controls all the functions of the body.
That connection is made through the spinal cord which is housed in the spinal column.
In order to reach the organs, tissues and cells of the peripheral body the nerves must exit the spine through holes called foramen. These holes are formed by an upper and lower vertebral body. When these are misaligned they can become “pinched” or compromised which in turn can compromise nerve function.
Chiropractic is the art and science of locating these misalignment's which are called subluxations.
