Welcome to the Long Beach Chiropractic website
Many people take their spines for granted and are blissfully unaware of their spinal problems and the effect this has on their health. The nervous system runs through and is attached in many places to the spinal column. As we know, the nervous system controls the functions of every tissue, organ and system in the body and is vital in the restoration and maintenance of health.
The spine, made up of almost 100 joints, is the body's most important and fragile support mechanism. Even a slight disturbance can have a knock on effect on the nervous system and hence the rest of the body. Spinal disturbances can result from accidents, trauma, contact sport, poor posture, disease, and chemical, emotional and physical stresses.
