Chiropractic Care

While many seek chiropractic care because they are in pain, this is not the goal. It is better to identify a problem before it creates pain or injury.

For example, think about going to a dentist. You are encouraged to go to the dentist every 6 months to prevent and identify cavities, gum disease, or other dental problems. If you did not go to the dentist, how would you know you have an issue? Typically, you would know because you have extreme pain. It is the same for chiropractic care.

While we enjoy helping people out of pain, we love keeping you healthy and happy.

Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counseling. The most common therapeutic procedure performed by chiropractors is known as a chiropractic adjustment. An adjustment is a method to allow proper movement of joints. The focus of the adjustment is to remove the subluxation, which is a joint not moving correctly, by improving joint mechanics. The purpose of an adjustment is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become restricted in their movement.

Damaged Tissue & Nerves

Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished nervous system function for the sufferer. Adjustment of the affected joint and tissues restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal.

Decreased joint movement leads to decreased input into the nervous system. The nervous system is the master control system of the body- directing all other body systems: immune, endocrine, skin, digestive, respiratory, and cardiovascular. Thus, dysfunction or decreased input into the nervous system will cause other systems to also fail. This failure will result in symptoms, which are actually just warning signs to let you know that there is a problem within your body. To silence such a warning without identifying the underlying cause will result in even greater dysfunction. Chiropractors address the cause of disease. 

Balance & Coordination

Improved balance and coordination will decrease your risk of injury, such as an ankle sprain or a broken bone from a fall.

Nutrition

Nutrition is essential to achieve your body’s full remedial potential. Without the necessary amino acids, vitamins, and minerals our body will not be able to defend itself against the many harmful substances we encounter daily.

Life-Style Modification & Ergonomics

Ergonomics evaluates your body’s position in any given workspace or situation. Proper ergonomics will allow your body to function efficiently, without strain, and can reduce fatigue and discomfort.

Wellness

Wellness is concerned with how you think, eat, and move.
