WHat is chiropractic

Chiropractic is more than cracking your neck, it is wellness care for the nervous system. The nervous system is composed of the brain, the spinal cord and the nerves. It controls every function in the body including immunity, healing and behavior. The bones of the skull and spine house and protect the nervous system but these bones become misaligned and cause what is often referred to as a “pinched nerve”.

Misaligned bones put tension on nerves and alter the signals being sent from the brain to the body. A lack of communication between the brain and body leads to common health issues seen in our pets everyday. We commonly associate a “pinched nerve” with pain but research shows that these misalignments can be present up to 10 years before pain is noticeable. More often these misaligned bones manifest first as issues with digestion, a decreased ability to heal, being easily injured or hyperactivity. A gentle adjustment removes tension on the nerves and restores the nervous system’s ability to communicate with the body.
