About Chiropractic

“People think of chiropractors as working on bones.  What we are doing is working on nerves – This is a neurology, not an osteology! We align the skeleton so that the nerves, which have to pass between bones and through joints, have the space they are supposed to have.  This restores normal messaging along those nerves, to and from the brain.  Spasms relax.  Pain abates.  And if all goes as it should, the body functions the way it was designed to.” -- Dr. Kosa
