What Is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the spine, the nervous system, and the body’s natural ability to heal and regulate itself.

At DocBlack Family Chiropractic, we help people restore proper spinal alignment so the nervous system can function without interference. When communication between the brain and body improves, overall function improves.

This is the foundation of living an Aligned Life®.

How Chiropractic Works

The nervous system controls every function in the body—including movement, digestion, immune response, posture, balance, and recovery from stress.

The brain sends signals through the spinal cord and nerves to every tissue and organ. When the spine is misaligned or not moving properly, it can interfere with those signals. Chiropractic adjustments are designed to restore proper motion and alignment, allowing the nervous system to communicate clearly again.

Chiropractic does not add anything to the body—it helps remove interference so the body can do what it is designed to do.

What Is a Spinal Subluxation?

A spinal subluxation is a misalignment or abnormal movement of spinal joints that can interfere with nerve function.

Subluxations may be caused by:

Poor posture or repetitive stress
Falls, accidents, or injuries
Physical, chemical, or emotional stress

They don’t always cause pain, but they can still affect how the body functions. Chiropractic care identifies and corrects these patterns to support better communication of the nervous system.

Chiropractic Care Is Not Symptom-Based

Chiropractic care does not treat symptoms—it addresses underlying dysfunction.

Many people seek chiropractic for:

Back pain or neck pain
Headaches or migraines
Sciatica
Postural issues
Sports or work-related stress

While symptoms often improve, the true goal of chiropractic is to support long-term function, adaptability, and resilience, not just short-term relief.

Why Chiropractic Comes Before Lifestyle Changes

Nutrition, exercise, sleep, and mindset all matter—but none of them work optimally without a properly functioning nervous system.

Chiropractic care helps the body:

Adapt better to physical and emotional stress
Recover more efficiently
Move with greater balance and coordination
Respond better to healthy lifestyle choices

This is why chiropractic pairs naturally with a whole-food, low-inflammation lifestyle—but alignment comes first.
