FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does a Chiropractor do? When there is dysfunctional movement of a joint, or misalignment, in the spine, it can affect the normal function of these nerve cells, interfering with the nervous system. Chiropractors aim to restore normal bodily function and spinal joint movement through spinal adjustments, amongst other techniques, so the brain and nervous system can work at their optimal potential, in order for the body to function in complete harmony.
