Chiropractic Care Throughout Life
The spine houses the most important system of the body-the nervous system. The nerves exit the spine and travel to every organ and tissue of the body. Misalignment or stress on the vertebrae can interfere with the nerves and thus have far reaching effects on the body. This is why every spine should be checked for misalignments from day one. Many of the spinal problems seen in adults began in childhood.
