Welcome to Friendswood Family
Chiropractic Clinic where we care for your health naturally.
Chiropractic health care focuses primarily on spinal function
and its relationship to the nervous system and good health.
The science of chiropractic is based on the premise that good
health depends, in part, on a normally functioning nervous system.
The Chiropractic principle emphasizes that the body is a self-regulating,
self-healing organism and that body function is controlled and
coordinated by the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves that branch
throughout the body. The movable bones of the spine offer protection
to vulnerable communication pathways of the nervous system,
specifically the spinal cord and the delicate nerve roots and
spinal nerves that exit between the vertebral segments of the
spinal column.
The skull, which houses and protects the brain from which most
nerves originate, rests atop the spinal column. From the brain,
the spinal cord extends downward through a vertical canal, formed
by the vertebrae of the spinal column, which houses and protects
the spinal cord. Thirty-one pairs of nerve roots emerge from
the spinal cord through openings between the vertebrae. Each
nerve extends to, and ultimately controls, a specific area of
the body and other health related goals.
