Most people will agree that our nervous system is the core to our health. It cannot be replaced by any medicine or by any transplantation. The nervous system starts from the brain and runs through spinal cord carrying electrical signals to various organ and muscles.

Over a period of time, this will develop as a health condition. So if we keep the nervous system sound and healthy, we can avoid lot of diseases. Chiropractic's core idea is to keep this system healthy. Here is a short video which explains the nervous system and how Chiropractors treat it.
