Chiropractic was founded on the principle that the human body has an innate potential to heal itself. Your nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves) is the master control system for your body. Your brain houses an innate intelligence that makes every single decision that your body requires to function, heal, and adapt to thrive. This information travels along your nerves to every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body to keep you healthy, healing, and warding off sickness and disease.
