By using lighter force the body stays relaxed during the entire treatment. Best of all, gentle chiropractic adjustments provide results faster than other methods.

How Does Chiropractic Work?
The skeletal frame is like the foundation of a house, if the concrete is poured wrong, your home will be crooked. This means that all the structures contained in your house will sit crooked on your floor. The Chiropractic principle is similar; if the skeletal frame is out of alignment then the organs contained within the frame will not work properly. Chiropractic adjustments realign your skeletal frame.
The hard spine has soft nerves that weave in and out of the vertebrae of the spine. When vertebrae are misaligned these soft nerves become compressed, which exerts pressure onto the fragile nerves. The increased pressure contributes to miscommunication between the brain and all the internal organs.
Just think of this miscommunication as static interference and you will have a good idea of how your body will have difficulty operating under these conditions. Gradual deterioration of your health occurs as a result of long term miscommunication (or static interference) between the brain and all the organs in your body.
Chiropractic , Health and Your Immune System
The brain regulates all the activities which occur in your body. It needs to organize the cells into tissues, then the tissues collect and form organs, and organs work together to producing systems like the immune system. All of these cells, tissues, and organs must act in harmony to keep you healthy.
Just like the conductor of an orchestra, the brain is responsible for harmony in your body, and it does this by using a complex information superhighway which is your spinal cord. The spinal cord and its highly specialized network of soft nerves are protected and housed in your vertebral column.
Chiropractic enhances the communication of the brain with all of the body’s systems including the precious immune system. Regular gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore normal spinal structure and thereby improve immune function. This can help reduce excessive spinal degeneration and associated muscle pain.
When spinal bones choke or chafe nearby nerves, vital communications between your brain and your body begin to shut down. This occurs whether you actually feel pain or not, signals can become distorted or exaggerated from the resulting nerve irritation. Nerve messages traveling to and from the brain become weak and faint, and your brain loses touch with affected cells, tissues and organs. Gentle spinal adjustments keep the nerve superhighway clear of static interference. When the foggy static of miscommunication is eliminated, your body begins to function clearly and optimal health is restored.
