What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a primary contact health care profession emphasizing differential diagnosis, patient-centered care and research, with expert knowledge in spine and neuromusculoskeletal health. Chiropractors use various diagnostic methods, including x-rays and orthopedic testing, to facilitate the diagnoses, treatment and prevention of disorders related to the spine, nervous system and joints, and will develop a comprehensive individual plan of management for each patient.
Is Chiropractic Effective?
Yes. Chiropractic care is a drug-free, non-invasive approach to treating common musculoskeletal conditions, and complications arising from treatment are rare. Scientific evidence proving the effectiveness of chiropractic care for a variety of conditions is overwhelming. Over the past 20 years, many controlled and independent research studies have repeatedly shown that chiropractic care is safe and effective for treating low back pain, neck pain, headaches and other conditions relating to the musculoskeletal system.
How can Chiropractic help me?
Chiropractors use a drug-free manual approach to assess and treat patients with disorders related to the spine, extremities, and pelvis and their effects on the nervous system. Chiropractors specialize in treating all regions of the body, including shoulders, knees, ankles and wrists. Chiropractors can treat dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system with techniques such as joint manipulation, or adjustments (to help decrease pain and increase mobility), soft tissue techniques (to decrease scar tissue, and restore function), as well as prescribing strengthening, stretching and rehabilitation exercises to help restore function. Chiropractors can also give you strategies to help prevent future injuries, such as prescribing core strengthening exercises to help stabilize your spine and strengthen your abdominal muscles.

How Does Chiropractic Care Help?Chiropractic is a highly skilled, safe and effective treatment. It is a hands-on treatment that treats the patient by addressing the cause of a problem, not the symptoms.
How do we get joint restrictions?
Sometimes the cause is physical. Physical causes include accidents, repetitive motions, improper lifting, slips and falls. Other causes of these restrictions include stress, tension or postural strains we place on our body every day. You may have tightness and restrictions accumulating and not even realize until you are suddenly in a lot of pain.
