What Is Chiropractic?
By Dr.
Steve Booth, D.C.
The term "Chiropractic" comes from the Greek words "cheiro and
praktikos" meaning "done by hand." Chiropractic care is centered
on the philosophy that the human body has the ability to heal
itself when it is given the right opportunity and circumstances.
The chiropractic profession is the most popular natural health
care choice in the United States. Chiropractic healthcare is a
branch of the healing arts that offers the public a natural
drugless approach to improving the health and function of the
human body.
Chiropractic care is based on the scientific fact that the
nervous system controls and coordinates the function of every
cell, tissue, and organ in the body. Interference to the nervous
system causes the body to malfunction and develop symptoms.
The spine, when unhealthy, is the most common structural cause
of interference to the nervous system. This is called a
vertebral (spinal) subluxation. When you have subluxations in
your spine, the spinal bones cause an interference to your
nervous system.
Chiropractors locate the areas of the spine that are subluxated
and perform adjustments to correct the subluxations and remove
the interference to the nervous system. What makes chiropractic
care different is the approach to your health problem. As a
chiropractor, I am trying to help your body heal itself and
improve the overall health of your body. I am not trying to
merely cover up your symptoms.
My approach to your health is to help you heal the cause of your
health problems, improve your overall health, and then work to
keep you as healthy as possible for the rest of your life.
Dr. Steve Booth is a board certified chiropractor and owner of
