What is chiropractic? (cont) Chiropractic is also a way at looking at health. Chiropractors realize that doctors or drugs don't heal people; only the body can heal itself. A properly functioning body will have the ability to heal itself to a greater extent. All the drugs and antibiotics in the world will not heal a cut on the finger of a dead person; yet for a properly functioning body, a cut on the finger is easily healed. The Vertebral Subluxation Complex is the underlying cause of many health problems. Instead of treating and masking these symptoms, chiropractors focus on detection and elimination of nerve interference. As an example, if the oil light on your dashboard in your car lights up, you can mask the symptom by covering it up with black tape. Does this solve the problem? As a chiropractor, we are interested in getting to the cause of loss of health and correcting this. back
