The word chiropractic is derived from Greek and means 'to perform with the hands'. This is because the most important component in a chiropractor's treatment is the manual treatment of the joints and muscles of the body. We know from paintings from ancient Egypt and Greece that the treatment we call chiropractic was used thousands of years ago. However, modern chiropractic has expanded its views on human health to the proper functioning of both the muscular system and even more so the Nervous System, which includes the Brain, Spinal Cord and it's Spinal Nerves.

According to Gray's Anatomy, the nervous system is the master system in the body that controls and coordinates all other systems such as respiratory, digestive, muscular, immune and so forth. So, having a proper functioning Nervous System helps to ensure a healthy body & mind and allows an individual to work in whatever capacity they wish to be performing. It is a chiropractor's mandate, to evaluate, locate and correct problems in the Nervous System via careful examination, diagnosis and precise treatment of biomechanical issues that affect proper functioning of this foremost system.
