What Is Chiropractic?Chiropractic was founded in 1895. It is
based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls the function of every cell,
tissue, organ and system of the body. The brain and the spinal cord are protected by
bones, the skull and vertebra. When the vertebra lose their normal position or move
improperly, they can irritate the nervous system. The irritation can effect the nerves
which supply the tissues and organs causing a lack of function. This lack of function is
called the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
