How does chiropractic care aim to restore health?

Chiropractic care focuses on the holistic approach of restoring health primarily by correcting spinal misalignments, which is referred to in the chiropractic philosophy as subluxations. The foundational belief is that such misalignments can interfere with the body's nervous system function, leading to a range of health issues. By addressing these misalignments through spinal manipulation and adjustments, chiropractic care aims to enhance the communication between the brain and body, facilitating the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

This approach distinguishes chiropractic from other health practices that may rely heavily on medication, physical therapy, or nutrition alone for treatment. While addressing pain and promoting physical activity can certainly be components of overall health care, chiropractic care uniquely centers on the spine's alignment and its critical role in maintaining proper nervous system function, thus impacting overall health and wellness.
