is a system of treatment based on the belief that the foundation of good health is the
unhampered flow of nerve impulses that originate in the brain and spinal cord and then travel to
all parts of the body. Therapy begins with analyzing the patients spinal column for abnormal
alignments of the vertebrae. When such misalignments called subluxations, are located they are
corrected by manipulation to restore the normal flow of nerve impulses. Many chiropractors also
make recommendations about nutrition and exercise but they do not prescribe drugs or do surgery.
Be aware, that one manipulative technique involves a rapid motion to increase joint mobility and reduce muscle spasm and pain.
