Chiropractic is a health care discipline based on the scientific premise that the body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism.
The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine, and pelvis) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. Chiropractic also places an emphasis on nutrition and exercise, wellness, and healthy lifestyle modifications.
