Chi·ro·prac·tic (kī-rō-prak'tik),
A non-pharmaceutical, non-surgical system of health care based on the self-healing capacity of
the body and the primary importance of the proper function of the nervous system in the
maintenance of health. Therapy is aimed at removing irritants to the nervous system, primarily
through spinal manipulation and restoring proper function.

Principles of chiropractic
At Allendale Chiropractic Clinic we follow three basic principles in our practice:
- Vitalism: The body has an intrinsic ability to heal itself; the chiropractor's role is to facilitate the body's ability to restore the vital or life force (innate intelligence) to its optimum level, and therefore be allowed to heal itself.
- Holism: All organs and systems function as one interconnected unit; anything that affects the nervous system has widespread effects elsewhere in the body. Any obstacles to perfect function of the nervous system can have potentially far-reaching effects. Chiropractic's focal point of concern is the integrity of the nervous system.
- Correction of subluxation: Subluxation is defined as a malalignment of the vertebrae that causes pressure on the spinal cord, nerve roots, and nerves. If you interfere with the signals traveling over the nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper nerve messages and will not be able to work properly. Chiropractors look for interferences in the nervous system in the form of subluxations and remove those interferences to allow the nervous system to function at a higher level. When the nervous system functions at a higher level, the body will begin to heal itself.
We strive to provide the highest quality care available. Each of our gentle adjustments is performed specifically to improve your ability to heal and increase your ability to deal with the physical, emotional and environmental stresses in today's busy world.
