Have a Question About Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a philosophy, science, and art. The philosophy is based on the understanding that the body is self-healing and is guided by an inner intelligence. The science contains principles of the basic sciences of the healing professions. The art is the actual physical care that we administer (called an adjustment).

An adjustment is the application of specific gentle pressure applied to the spine by hand or instrument to restore proper motion and alignment. This is also called a spinal manipulation or a joint manipulation. 

We correct vertebral subluxation, which is a misalignment of one or more vertebrae of the spine. Vertebral subluxation is caused by physical, mental, and chemical stress which we are subjected to in everyday life. These stresses result in spinal misalignment which then affects the nerve and immune systems.

Chiropractic can help relieve pain from headaches, back injuries and other wears and tears of the body during normal life. It can also help relieve pain and discomfort related to both chemical and emotional stresses in addition to physical ones.

In the overwhelming majority of cases the chiropractic adjustment is a pleasant experience that practice members look forward to. In addition to the traditional hand adjustment, we also use a “light pressure” instrument for practice members and some children/infants who need a lighter touch.

Chiropractic is “remarkably safe” according to the results of a research study that was conducted by the New Zealand government. By not participating in the use of dangerous drugs and surgical procedures, chiropractic has amassed an enviable safety record. You may have heard “rumors” about people being hurt by chiropractic. These are almost always the result of non-chiropractors trying to manipulate people. Beware of untrained individuals, even though they may be doctors or therapists, trying to emulate chiropractors. Chiropractors do not manipulate, they specifically adjust vertebral subluxations in the spine to allow proper nerve system function and the body’s innate intelligence to be properly expressed. No one can learn to provide safe chiropractic care at a weekend course. Chiropractors have spent hundreds of hours in training and years/decades of experience providing chiropractic care.

After a short period of frequent visits for initial correction and stabilization of vertebral subluxations, patients have the option of choosing to continue care for ongoing wellness. The lifestyle stresses that cause vertebral subluxations are not going away for most people, and so many choose to continue their health education and chiropractic care at our office for an indefinite period at a reduced schedule.
