Dr. Thorburn offers a simple, direct explanation for how chiropractic works:

Chiropractic is the art and science of moving the spine into the correct position to relieve pressure on nerves.

We focus on the spine because your nervous system lives there. The brain is the organ that controls your entire body. In order to control the body, the brain must be able to communicate to all your body parts. It does that by sending signals through the nerves.

If your nerves work perfectly, the brain can get its messages out to the entire body and your health is excellent.

If a nerve stops functioning perfectly, the brain cannot get its signals out along that nerve.   As a result, the body part connected to that nerve will not work right. For example, if the nerve connected to your stomach isn’t working properly you can develop acid reflux, ulcers or other stomach issues.

If a bone in the spine (vertebrae) moves out of place slightly, it can put pressure on the nerve and cause it to stop working correctly. This is called a "subluxation".  “Sub” means less than and “luxation” means misalignment.  We repair the subluxation and the body is able to work well again.
