How Does Chiropractic Work? 
Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn ability to be healthy. All the cells, tissues and organs of your body are designed to resist disease and ill health when under the proper control of your nervous system. A loss of normal motion or position of the bones in your spine can irritate or impair the function of the nervous system. This can disrupt the transmission of controlling nerve impulses. The chiropractic approach to better health is to locate and help remove interferences to your natural state of being healthy. With improved spinal function there is often improved nervous system function. Your chiropractic doctor can help remove interferences that may be impairing normal health. Since the primary focus of your care is improved nervous system function, chiropractic can have a positive effect on many health conditions not normally thought of as "back" problems.
