Chiropractic is based on the science which concerns itself with the relationship between structures (primarily the spine) and function (primarily of the nervous system) and how this relationship can affect the restoration and preservation of health.

Adjustments are made by chiropractors to correct or reduce spinal and extremity joint subluxations. Vertebral subluxation is a disturbance to the nervous system and is a condition where one or more vertebra in the spine is misaligned and/or does not move properly causing interference and/or irritation to the nervous system. The primary goal in chiropractic care is the removal and/or reduction of nerve interference caused by vertebral subluxation.

A chiropractic examination will be performed which may include spinal and physical
examination, orthopedic and neurological testing, palpation, specialized instrumentation,
radiological examination (x-rays), and laboratory testing.

The chiropractic adjustment is the application of a precise movement and/or force into the spine to reduce or correct vertebral subluxation(s). There are several different methods or techniques by which the chiropractic adjustment is delivered but are typically delivered by hand. Some may require the use of an instrument or other specialized equipment. In addition, physiotherapy or rehabilitative procedures may be included in the management protocol. Among other things, chiropractic care may reduce pain, increase mobility, and improve quality of life.
