What is
chiropractic?

A holistic and natural approach

Chiropractic recognizes the body’s innate ability to heal itself and works with a natural, holistic vision. This means the body is seen as a whole, where every part is interconnected and influences one another. Chiropractors focus on restoring the balance and function of the nervous system and spine, enabling the body to function better and support its own health.

Instead of suppressing symptoms, chiropractic helps address the root cause of problems—without the use of medication or surgery. In this way, it contributes to a healthier and more vital life.

How does chiropractic work?

Your spine protects your spinal cord, which is part of your central nervous system. If the spine becomes misaligned or restricted—what chiropractors call a subluxation—it can affect how your nervous system communicates with the rest of your body.

Chiropractors detect and correct these subluxations using specific, safe adjustments. At Optimum Chiropractie, we use techniques adapted to each individual—whether it’s a baby, an athlete, a senior, or a dog.

Who is the chiropractor?

A chiropractor is a university-trained healthcare professional and expert in functional disorders of the spine and nervous system. Using a variety of techniques, chiropractors help a wide range of people improve and maintain their health. Many choose regular spinal check-ups to prevent the negative health effects of modern, high-stress lifestyles.

Who is chiropractic for?

Chiropractic is suitable for people of all ages who want to support their health in a natural way. Many people seek chiropractic care for back or neck pain, posture issues, headaches, or stress. Chiropractic can also offer support during pregnancy or for children—for example, with motor development or sleep problems.

In addition, chiropractic for animals is on the rise. Dogs, cats, and horses often respond well to specific adjustments that benefit their nervous system and mobility.

What is a chiropractic adjustment?
