What is Chiropractic? Chiropractic is a natural form of health care which focuses on locating and correcting spine and nerve problems that are interfering with communication in the body. It is founded on the premise that your body has an inborn ability to heal itself, given that there is no interference.

If you suffer from headaches, a chiropractic spinal checkup is one of the best things you can do. Sinus trouble; high blood pressure; jaw problems; drugs; accidents and other causes. You can get a headache just worrying about all the things that cause them, and that leads us to the most common headache of all: the muscle tension, worry or"stress" headache that makes up 90% of all headaches.

The whiplash injury occurs most frequently in an auto rear-end collision-- when the auto is struck from the rear, the head is suddenly jerked back and forth beyond it's normal limits. Henceforth, when the body is suddenly thrown in one direction and the head is thrown beyond the normal backward and forward bending range of the neck, it is called a "whiplash" injury.

This is the largest nerve in the body--it extends from the lower spine down the back of the thigh to the knee. There it divides, and one nerve goes down the front, and the other down the back of the lower leg. Inflamation of the sciatica nerve is most frequently triggered by an irritated nerve root.
