Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a science,philosophy and art of healing that deals with the body in a natural way, without using drugs or surgery. It is a method of restoring the body segments(vertebrae)of the spine to their correct position in order to reduce or eliminate nerve irritations caused by misaligned spinal bones.

The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “spinal manipulation” also called “chiropractic adjustment.” The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypo mobile – or restricted in their movement – as result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as imporperlifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time in either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heel.

In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the sufferer. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues,restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscles tightness, and allowing tissues to heal.
