| Q: |
What is chiropractic? |
| A: |
Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system (especially the spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body). "Chiropractic" comes from the Greek word chiropraktikos, meaning "effective treatment by hand." Chiropractic stresses the idea that the cause of many disease processes begins with the body's inability to adapt to its environment. It looks to address these diseases not by the use of drugs and chemicals, but by locating and adjusting a musculoskeletal area of the body which is functioning improperly. |

| Q: |

| Q: |
How do I know if I have subluxation? |
| A: |
Many times people have no idea if they have subluxation. In fact, your body's nervous system is only 10% pain. Therefore, many people have no idea because they are looking for pain when often times there is none. Pain is a bad indicator of how bad an injury is. Here is an example: If you are having a heart attack, often it is never felt until it's too late, right? Another good example is cancer. By the time pain is felt, it is too late. Let's take the nervous system now. Let's say you cut your finger. It hurts badly right? But is it that painful? |

| Q: |
