Chiropractic: Our purpose is to educate and adjust as many families as possible, to remove spinal misalignments and return them to optimum health with natural Chiropractic care.

Chiropractic can help various conditions including headaches, asthma, disc problems, sciatica, postural problems and sports injuries.

What Is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts concerning itself with the relationship between the structure (primarily the spine) and function of the neuro-musculoskeletal system as that relationship may affect the restoration and preservation of health.

Chiropractic is a modern health care system based on the following premises:

The body is capable of healing, given adequate rest, nutrition, and a properly functioning nervous system, providing that no irreparable tissue damage has occurred.

The nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves) controls all the other systems of the body.

Why Is The Spine Important?

The spine is the framework, which supports and protects the spinal cord. Most of the nerves pass from the spinal cord through small openings in the spine to various muscles, organs, bones and even the skin.

The spine is made up of 24 movable bones, 23 discs (which act as shock absorbers and allow movement to occur), and has attachments for 12 pairs of ribs and hundreds of ligaments and muscles. 31 pairs of nerves exit the spine.

What Do We Do?

We analyze the spine for subluxations and if found, do a special procedure called an �adjustment�.

How Do We Do It?

Before the spine can be adjusted, we need to know details of past medical history, any accidents and current lifestyle (diet, exercise).

A thorough examination may include a postural evaluation, specific spinal analysis, orthopaedic and neurological testing, electromyography and thermography. X-rays may be taken not only to evaluate the condition and alignment of the spine, but to help rule out any underlying disease.

Why Emphasis Prevention?

Once better movement has been restored to the spine, it is important that it be maintained.

Regular checkups will allow your spine to function optimally, offering your body the best chance of feeling and functioning well.
