The basis of Functional Chiropractic is that all aspects of life have a potential to interfere with the nervous system’s coordination and regulation of life. The method seeks to discover the underlying cause of disease by examining how structure impacts function. A patient assessment would also include lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress level, interpersonal relationships, and habits. Also considered are underlying factors such as history of trauma, illnesses, hospitalizations, environmental exposures, and genetic influences.
