A doctor of Chiropractic analyzes, locates and removes a severe form of spine and nerve stress (Subluxation) which is a condition that puts pressure on the nerves, unbalances you body, lowers your resistance to disease and weakens you: vertebral complex. The doctor accomplishes this by using his hands and other tools to correct or remove subluxations using careful spinal manipulation and adjustment techniques. Chiropractors help patients maintain optimal health while avoiding unnecessary drugs or surgery. An estimated 50 million Americans see a chiropractor each year.
