Chiropractic is a health discipline firmly grounded in science, and evidence-based research. Doctors of Chiropractic have focused on the spine, muscles, joints, and nervous system for the past 126 years. The basic premise of Chiropractic is to restore normal function to the body. It is to diagnose, treat, and prevent physical dysfunction. Often, when joints do not function or move properly, the soft tissues such as muscles, ligaments, and tendons are affected.  Also, blood, lymphatic flow, and nerve function may be altered in a negative way. Through manipulation or adjustment of specific joints of the body, normal function may be restored.
