    Chiropractic Defined
Mail Dr. Anthon

      Chiropractic is a Philosophy, Science and Art of things Natural; a system of Adjusting the joints of the spinal column, by hand only, for the correction of the cause of disease.

      The adult spinal column consists of the 24 freely movable bone segments, called vertebrae, together with the sacrum and coccyx. All the great nerve trunks emit through the openings between the vertebrae known as intervertebral foramina.   The vital nerve force within man is carried by these nerve trunks from the brain to the various organs, muscles and tissues of the body.

      For every effect you must have a cause; that is a fundamental law of physics.  If a person is ill, then the condition of disease, regardless of the name applied to it, is in fact an effect for which there must be a cause

      The Chiropractic premise is that the cause of disease is due to the Subluxation of vertebrae, which produce pressure upon the nerve trunks and thus interfere with the normal transmission of vital nerve force.

      The Chiropractic objective is to locate the point in the spine where nerve pressure exists, due to a Vertebral Subluxation, and, through proper adjustment by hand, to restore the Subluxated vertebrae to its normal position, thus releasing the pressure on the nerves involved and thereby removing the cause of disease in the body.  Renewed health is the natural result.
