Chiropractic is the science of locating problems in the spine, the art of reducing their impact to the nervous system, and a philosophy of natural health care based on your inborn potential to be healthy.
When under the proper control of your nervous system, all the cells, tissue, and organs of your body are designed to resist disease and ill health. The chiropractic approach to better health is to locate and help reduce interferences to your natural state of being healthy.
Common interferences to the nervous system occur between some of the 24 moving bones of the spinal column. A loss of normal motion or position of these bones can irritate or impair the function of the nervous system.
This can disrupt the transmission of controlling nerve impulses. With improved spinal function people often report improved organ and system function. Your chiropractor can help improve any interference that may be impairing normal health.
Through specialist, drug-free spinal health care, expertise in the diagnosis and management of spinal health, and the provision of expert advise, chiropractors can play an important part in helping Australians lead and maintain healthy lives.
