Understanding Chiropractic

What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic is a natural, drug-free approach to health that focuses on the relationship between your spine and nervous system. Learn how it works and what we believe.

Our Approach

Our Philosophy

At Okemos Family Chiropractic, we believe in the body's natural ability to heal itself when given the right conditions. Here are the core principles that guide our care.

The Nervous System Controls Everything

Your brain communicates with every cell, tissue, and organ through your nervous system. The spine protects this vital communication highway, and misalignments can interfere with optimal function.

The Body Has Innate Intelligence

Your body possesses a remarkable ability to heal and regulate itself. Chiropractic care removes interference to this natural healing ability, allowing your body to function at its best.

Structure Affects Function

The relationship between your spine's structure and your nervous system's function is central to health. When spinal bones are properly aligned, your body can perform optimally.

Prevention Over Treatment

We believe in proactive care rather than reactive treatment. Regular chiropractic adjustments help maintain spinal health and prevent problems before they start.
