Many people associate doctors of chiropractic with the treatment of back and neck pain or other musculoskeletal disorders. Granted, these conditions rate highly among the reasons for patient visits. However, they do not form the basis for the profession's existence. The Chiropractic profession has for the past 100 years been spearheading what is now termed a "new approach" to health which is gaining so much momentum internationally, it has been labeled by many as the "Wellness Revolution". Chiropractic is a holistic systems approach to health. Doctors of Chiropractic maintain that ultimately it is a body free from nervous system interference that has a greater command of itself, and an improved ability to adapt to its environment, thus allowing for the enhanced ability to maintain true health.

Although chiropractic is not the treatment of disease, medically defined disease processes frequently improve or resolve under chiropractic care. Chiropractic is based on the understanding that the nervous system coordinates and controls bodily function. Distortions in the framework of the body - in particular, those complex structures of the spine and skull - can interfere with normal nervous system function, and by doing so can lead to ill health elsewhere in the body. The removal of interference to the nervous system promotes better immune balance and improved health.
