According to The Association of Chiropractic Colleges, "Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health."
A chiropractor seeks to maximize the overall function of the entire body, not merely address the symptoms. Chiropractors evaluate and treat a patient’s muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems. Contrary to popular belief, chiropractors do not only treat back pain. Common problems such as bursitis, muscle strains, headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritic pain are just a few problems that chiropractors treat. And unlike conventional healthcare, they explore how diet, exercise, environment, and heredity contribute to a patient's pain and injuries. In this regard, chiropractic care becomes a very personal and individualized experience!
"A state of optimal physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Dorland’s Medical Dictionary, 28th ed., 1994
Doctors of chiropractic are trained to locate the source of the pain or discomfort. Surprisingly, the source may actually be far from the actual location where the symptom is occurring. For example, carpal tunnel syndrome is often mistaken for a simple muscular problem in the neck or arm. After the source is found, the doctor will correct or adjust the joints and evaluate and treat the muscular dysfunction so that the body can start healing itself more efficiently and effectively.
Because helping the body heal itself involves many facets, chiropractors also provide lifestyle advice to help prevent illness and injury. Diet and nutrition, fitness, ergonomics, and other areas in your life contribute to, or diminish your overall health. Many people think that they should only go to the chiropractor when they are in pain, but by visiting the chiropractor when you are feeling healthy, you play a preventative role in your overall well-being. Getting our teeth cleaned regularly by a dentist helps prevent cavities and other serious problems. Take care of your spine as well as you take care of your teeth and make spinal exams a regularly scheduled event! By making the right choices, one can live a life full of wellness and vitality.
Although chiropractic can help those suffering with common ailments such as arthritis, tendonitis, and back pain, some patients have stated noticing relief from symptoms of sinusitis, allergies, and asthma.

Many occupations predispose employees to overuse injuries. These injuries cause muscle and joint strains and sprains and increase vertebral subluxations.

Car accidents can adversely affect nerves, ligaments, bones, and discs. No matter how minor, an accident can cause spinal misalignment, which may or may not present immediate discomfort. Choose chiropractic for a spinal exam and rehab following a car accident.
Backache, headache, and sinus trouble are just a few of the many pregnancy symptoms that chiropractic can help alleviate.

Our youth grow every day. This rapid growth, alone, may cause muscle, ligament, and bone stress. In addition, children are active.

Be a child advocate and choose chiropractic.
Teenagers also grow and move at a rapid pace. Sports, improper back pack use, poor posture, or an unbalanced diet may contribute to a wide range of physical illnesses. Choose chiropractic for your teen and promote healthy living during the crucial formative years.
