Although many believe that chiropractic was discovered recently (1895) in America by Daniel David Palmer, the premise of removing stress off a nerve correcting a misalignment of a spinal vertebrae actually dates back over 5,000 years ago in ancient Chinese, Egyptian as well as Ayurvedic medicine. This practice helped with varies types of pain including those related to the internal organs.

Chiropractic emphasizes the assertion that the cause of many disease processes begins with the body's inability to adapt to its environment. It looks to address these diseases not by the use of drugs and chemicals, but by locating and adjusting an area of the spine, which is functioning improperly: known as vertebral subluxation complex. A chiropractic doctor locates and removes the nerve stress, a condition that puts pressure on nerves, via the chiropractic “adjustment”. When such an unbalance in body occurs, it is thought the chain reaction of the unbalance consequentially lowers resistance and weakens the individual eventually resulting in a disease process.

No matter what disease or condition exists, there can only be benefit from a healthy spine. Spinal health can be as important for overall healing as proper nutrition, stress-free lifestyle, exercise, and emotional freedom. In some people, whether the spine is healthy it is a major factor and can make the difference between a life of health, strength and vitality or a life of disease, weakness and disability.
