Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that focuses on homeostasis, the human body's self-regulated ability to keep all systems functioning optimally, and to heal itself without medication or surgery. It focuses on the relationship between structure and function; with namely, of the core structure (the spine), as well as the nervous system, which controls and coordinates all bodily functions.
The chiropractic approach is both preventative and curative, striving to help patients with the preservation and/or restoration of health. The objective is not only to relieve, but also to prevent symptoms and pain that are linked to improper functioning of the spinal column or joints (shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles).

Birth trauma and repetitive falls in young children can cause damage that could adversely affect the function of their spine and nervous system.
