What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating and self-healing organism. These important functions are controlled by the Central Nervous system which contains the brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of the body. The skull protects the delicate tissues of the brain. The moving bones of the spine protect the vulnerable communication pathways of the spinal cord and nerve roots. If the nervous system has an interference in it, it can cause malfunction of the tissues and organs throughout the body. Doctors of Chiropractic call this the Vertebral Subluxation. The Chiropractic adjustment has been proven to increase motion, increase circulation, reduce swelling, reduce pain and remove nerve interference. Once this nerve interference is removed, your body is able to do what it is designed to do - heal itself without any out any drugs or surgery.

What do Doctors of Chiropractic do?

Chiropractic is the Philosophy, Science, and Art that concerns itself with the restoration of good health by restoring and maintaining a properly functioning nervous system, without the use of drugs or surgery. Chiropractors restore proper motion to joints that are not moving properly. Helping to restore proper spinal bio-mechanics and improved nervous system function begins with a case history. Your case history is vital as it reveals the health background about your about your past, such as a traumatic birth, or just sitting at work all day and other details which brought you into the office. After reviewing your history and discussing your specific problem, a thorough hands on chiropractic examination, x-rays if needed and MRI diagnostic testing will be done if needed.
