What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is an excellent way to improve your health naturally and effectively
Chiropractic is a health care profession that specializes in the relationship between the vertebral column (structure) and the nervous system (function), with a focus on correcting neuromusculoskeletal problems that may affect overall health of an individual.
The objective of chiropractic is to help the body function optimally by assuring the nervous system is free of interference and able to perform at its highest potential.
Chiropractic was created in 1895 in the United States by D.D. Palmer and has since gained recognition as a primary health care provider in many countries worldwide. It was incorporated into the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2005.
