is the Philosophy, science and art of locating interference
in the nervous system due to misalignments of spinal bones
and correcting them. These misaligned vertebrae
are called subluxations. Subluxations interfere
with the transmission of information and energy through the
nerves, causing dysfunction and dis-ease in the body. The
result may then be manifested as a host of different health
conditions.
differs from the mainstream medical system in that rather
then just treating and covering up symptoms and conditions
with medications, it looks to identify what the cause of
the complaint may be. In many cases, the conditions
may be a result of nerve interference from spinal subluxations.
may employ different techniques to locate
and correct subluxations. But the most common technique
for correcting subluxations uses a hands on technique to
manually move the bone. This procedure is called an
adjustment.
