CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT: This is a Chiropractic procedure performed either by hand or with instruments. It is a gentle stimulation or input into the spine/nervous system whereby the consequence of an action serves to continually modify further action within the nervous system with the intent of creating harmony within the body’s systems.

It is a consequence of all the cells in the body working in harmony 100% of the time. Peak Performance at the integrated cellular level. This involves the CNS being balanced and in a state of homeostasis.

HEALTH:  According to the World Health Organization “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not just the absence of disease or infirmity. It has held this definition from 1948 and is still what they stand by today. This is also echoed by Dorland’s Medical Dictionary.
