Doctors of Chiropractic focus on the detection, reduction and prevention of Central Nervous System interference. The central nervous system controls all function and healing of the human body and is made up of the brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves. Misaligned spinal bones or other joints cause compression, irritation and damage to delicate nerves. This nervous system interference is called "subluxation".

The function of Chiropractic care is to facilitate the body's innate ability to heal itself by correcting subluxations through carefully directed adjustments of the joints. Adjustments alleviate the pressure on the nerves and enable the restoration of normal nerve function thus addressing the cause of illness or physical dysfunction.
