There are many factors that contribute to the state of your health, however the single most important factor, and often the most neglected, is the function and balance of your nervous system. Your nervous system is the human body's master system, controlling and co-ordinating the function of virtually every cell, tissue and organ in your body.

The primary focus of chiropractic is to ensure your nerves are working at their best in order to allow optimal communication between your brain and your body, and therefore maximize your potential for peak health and performance.

A delicate relationship exists between your spine and your nervous system. Imbalances in the spine can interfere with normal nerve function. A subluxation is the term commonly used by chiropractors to describe what happens when the bones of the spine lose their normal position or movement. This can place extra stress on bones, discs, ligaments and muscles of your spine leading to degenerative wear and tear. Most significantly though it may compromise the normal function of your nervous system and diminish health.

Subluxations may be caused by many factors such as poor posture, knocks, falls, car accidents, even the birth process can be a major cause of subluxation in the newborn child. Stress, whether it be physical, emotional or chemical, is one of the most common causes of spinal subluxation.

Chiropractors use specific adjustments to correct these imbalances in the spine and restore normal nerve function. There are many different types of adjustments which are safe, gentle and effective for people of all ages.
