What is Chiropractic?

Our bodies are self healing and made to be healthy. Doctors of Chiropractic bring specific, scientific chiropractic care to locate and remove interference to that innate healing ability, thus allowing your body to return to and remain in good health. That interference is called Vertebral Subluxation. GCC members have made it their mission to detect and correct these subluxations for the betterment of all humanity.

Subluxation Explained

What is it, and what does it do to me? In simplest terms, a subluxation (a.k.a. Vertebral Subluxation) is when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves.

How does this affect you? Your nervous system controls and coordinates all the functions of your body. If you interfere with the signals traveling over nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper nerve messages and will not be able to function at 100% of their innate abilities. In other words, some part of your body will not be working properly. It is the responsibility of the Doctor of Chiropractic to locate subluxations, and reduce or correct them. This is done through a series of chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the vertebral subluxations in your spine. Chiropractors are the only professionals who undergo years of training to be the experts at correcting subluxations.
