Chiropractic care doesn’t “heal” the body in the way a medication targets a symptom or a surgery repairs a structure. Instead, it focuses on restoring balance and improving communication within the nervous system so the body can do what it was designed to do: regulate, adapt, and heal itself. Dr. Santoro in Indiana, PA believes strongly in this philosophy—that the role of the chiropractor is not to force healing, but to remove obstacles that may be interfering with the body’s natural processes. Because the brain and spinal cord coordinate every function in the body—from muscle movement to immune response—supporting healthy spinal motion can help the body function more efficiently and adapt more effectively to stress.
The human body is constantly repairing and regulating itself. Cuts close, bones knit back together, and inflammation rises and falls in carefully orchestrated patterns. This self-healing capacity is built into our biology. However, stress—whether physical, chemical, or emotional—can tax the nervous system and make it harder for the body to adapt. By supporting spinal alignment and healthy joint mobility, chiropractic care helps reduce one source of physical stress. The goal isn’t to “force” healing to happen, but to remove barriers that may be standing in the way of the body’s innate ability to restore balance.
In this way, chiropractic care is about partnership, not intervention. It works alongside healthy lifestyle habits like proper nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management. An adjustment doesn’t directly heal a strained muscle or cure an illness; rather, it helps create the conditions in which healing is more likely to occur. Dr. Santoro in Indiana, PA believes that when the nervous system can communicate clearly and the body can move freely, patients are better positioned to experience improved function and overall well-being.
