What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is all about helping your body work the way it was designed to. Your spine protects your nervous system — the network of nerves that controls every muscle, joint, and organ in your body. When the spine is moving well and in good alignment, the nervous system can send clear, uninterrupted messages, allowing your body to function at its best.

Sometimes the joints of the spine can become stiff, irritated, or slightly misaligned. In chiropractic we call this a subluxation. A subluxation can place pressure or stress on the surrounding nerves and soft tissues. This can lead to symptoms like pain, tightness, muscle spasms, inflammation, or reduced movement. But it can also affect how well the nervous system communicates with the body — meaning things may not function as smoothly as they should.

Chiropractic adjustments are gentle, specific movements that help restore normal motion and alignment to those spinal joints. When a subluxation is corrected, the pressure on the nerves eases and movement improves. This helps the body switch out of a stressed state and back into a more balanced, healing mode.

Many people notice improvements not just in pain, but also in posture, movement, sleep, energy, and how their body feels overall. Because chiropractic focuses on supporting the spine and nervous system, it helps the body heal and regulate itself more effectively.

In simple terms:
Chiropractic helps your spine move better, your nerves work better, and your body feel and function better.
