Chiropractors recognize that the body has a natural ability to fight disease, heal itself, and achieve stable health. Chiropractors, therefore, use neither drugs nor surgery in their treatments.      The profession maintains that invasive treatments like surgery and drugs are often employed too rapidly and without the patient first having recourse to more conservative therapies.      The chiropractic profession pioneered the holistic approach to health care now widely espoused in North America. This approach is seen in chiropractic education and practice

in the areas of nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, sleeping habits, working habits and other preventive health strategies.      Removing nerve interference from spinal vertebrae  is the main goal of chiropractors. As the nerve interference is removed the body heals itself. When chiropractors adjust the spine they improve the functioning of the vertebrae. When the function improves the structure also improves. As they say, function governs structure. Copyright 1999 Dr. Victor Jean Ouellette All Rights Reserved
