Chiropractic is based upon the simple principle that the body naturally strives toward health. This is the normal expression of the body’s innate intelligence. The nerve system’s primary responsibility is to coordinate this process. If one of the bones of the spine becomes misaligned (subluxated), the nerve system is interfered with and this striving toward health and harmonious function is lessened. Simply put, the body, whatever it’s state or level of health, is better off with a good nerve supply.
