What Is Chiropractic Care?

We're glad you asked! Chiropractic care is a drug-free, non-surgical approach to healing and wellness. Chiropractic care restores health and prevents injury by improving the structural integrity of the body, primarily of the spine, but in this office also of the cranium and the extremities. The brain communicates with the rest of the body via the spinal cord and nervous system. When functioning perfectly, this communication is uninterrupted, and the messages go to and from the brain without interference. 
 
Addressing the Root of the Problem
The nervous system serves as the body's wiring.  If this wiring is inhibited, the signal does not reach the intended body part, and illness may result.  Think of the nervous system as a very complex computer and the chiropractic correction, analogous to finding a computer virus and fixing it.  Such interferences can manifest anywhere in your cranium or anywhere along your spine. Pain in your arm or hand may actually be caused by a problem in your neck, where the nerves connecting to that hand originate. A qualified chiropractor can examine the cranium, spine and the extremities for interferences and remove them through controlled techniques.
 
Established Practice
According to The Association of Chiropractic Colleges, chiropractic care focuses on the relationship of structure and function (as coordinated by the nervous system), and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of your health. Qualified chiropractors are professional health practitioners, delivering long-term care at a fraction of the cost of drug treatments and surgery.
