Holistic Chiropractic Physicians and Lifestyle Educators bridge the gap between clinical and basic science to optimize the structure and function of the whole body for optimal health and vitality. Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating and self-healing organism. All bodily functions are controlled by the brain, spinal cord and nerves throughout the body and specialized tissues in the nervous system release chemical messengers in the form of neurotransmitters and hormones. These chemicals are a means of communication to and from the brain and body and are essential for maintaining perfect balance between the body’s organ systems.
