Chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the spine and the central nervous system and the problems that result from their dysfunction.  The nervous system controls every cell, tissue and organ in the body.  Stress on the human frame resulting from injury, poor posture, repetitive stresses and unhealthy habits creates misaligned vertebrae, irritation of nerves, inflammation, muscle spasm, soft tissue imbalance and degenerative joint disease.  These pathologies affect the way our body functions and can lead to chronic pain and poor overall health.

The chiropractic approach to health care is holistic, meaning that it addresses overall health.  As a result of taking a patient history and performing a physical assessment, chiropractors are able to provide a differential diagnosis for your presenting condition and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.  Chiropractic philosophy recognizes that many lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and environment impact your health. For this reason, chiropractors may run diagnostic laboratory tests, recommend nutrition, exercise or other lifestyle changes in addition to chiropractic care.

In order for the body to function at its best, it must be structurally balanced.   You can't expect to have optimum health without chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care consists of 3 phases.  During the initial phase the goal is to get you out of pain by reducing inflammation and improving  joint or spinal  function.  As you start to feel better we focus on exercises to strengthen weak and imbalanced muscles that have healed with your body "out of alignment".  The final phase is maintenance or wellness care that can keep you functioning at peak performance and prevent the original problem from returning.

History of Chiropractic Care

The roots of chiropractic care can be traced all the way back to the beginning of recorded time. Writings from China and Greece written in 2700 B.C. and 1500 B.C. mention spinal manipulation and the maneuvering of the lower extremities to ease low back pain. Hippocrates, the Greek physician, who lived from 460 to 357 B.C., also published texts detailing the importance of chiropractic care. In one of his writings he declares, "Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases".
