The four major premises of chiropractic are:

1. The body is a self-healing, self-regulating system; health comes from within.
2. The nervous system controls and regulates every function of the body.
3. Any interference to the nervous system (i.e. vertebral subluxation) reduces the self-healing and self-regulating ability of the body thus reducing health.
4. Correction of the vertebral subluxation by a chiropractic adjustment restores optimal nervous system function and optimal health/wellness.

To be a chiropractor takes seven years of university. After an average of three years of university pre-requisites, students then attend a specialized chiropractic institution for four years where they receive the same amount or more education as one would in a medical school program. The courses of study for a Doctor of Chiropractic focus on anatomy, physiology, radiology, neurology, orthopedics, and various other health and biological sciences. In addition, chiropractic training includes an internship in which the student doctor assists in caring for patients in a clinical setting under the direct supervision of professionals. After graduating from Chiropractic College, a new Doctor must pass national board exams and provincial license exams before he or she is allowed to practice in that province.

Chiropractic is for everyone! With today's growing health awareness toward prevention and wellness, chiropractic is playing an integral role in maintaining and improving one's health and vitality. From birth to seniors, the importance of maintaining a healthy nervous system is imperative to creating 100% health within the body. In addition, research has shown that anyone who suffers from recurring symptoms, such as ear infections, neck or back pain, headaches, stomach upset, menstrual cramps, asthma, insomnia, ADHD, colic, high blood pressure or any number of similar problems can benefit from specific chiropractic adjustments. Chiropractic is a health care profession dedicated to the maintenance and restoration of a healthy, aligned, and uncompromised nervous system, which produces a healthy body. Just as you would visit a dentist for a check-up to keep a small problem from growing into a serious problem, regular visits to the chiropractor can maintain proper health and prevent problems before they progress.

Your health depends on a properly functioning nervous system! Chiropractic is a science, art and philosophy which concerns itself with the relationship between the nervous system/spinal column and the function of the body's organs, tissues and cells. Science understands that the nervous system is the master control system for your whole body, and therefore the healthier the nervous system, the healthier your body will be. When there is a misalignment to one or more of the vertebrae in your spinal column, known as a vertebral subluxation, pressure and/or inflammation can disrupt the normal flow of information within the nervous system, thus causing degradation of health and vitality. These subluxations are caused by physical, chemical and mental stress. Research shows that such subluxations are commonly caused as early as birth and can continue throughout one's lifetime. Only Doctors of Chiropractic are trained to locate and correct vertebral subluxations.

Chiropractic does not use drugs, medicine, or invasive tools and procedures. Chiropractic is the largest, drugless, natural healing profession in the world. Chiropractic is a health care profession which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.
