Chiropractic treatment is a hands-on approach to natural healing. It does not involve treatment using drugs and surgery, since chiropractors believe these modes of therapy to be more invasive and less natural to the body. Drugs typically cause a myriad of side effects, kill hundreds of thousands of people annually and do not get to the source of the health problem, merely masking it. Chiropractors treat the nervous system by removing subluxations which cause nerve interference and poor health.

Chiropractors use their hands and some instruments to perform an adjustment. The adjustment involves a gentle, quick movement directed at the subluxation to move it into the correct position. This immediately removes the subluxation and the interference to the nerve. Getting you healthy takes time. Why? Subluxations, if left alone over time will lead to degeneration. A course of regular adjustments is necessary, just like regular exercise is necessary to correct the problem and balance the nervous system. Many patients come to the chiropractor after having many subluxations left uncorrected for many years. It takes time to get sick and therefore it takes time to get healthy.
