Chiropractic is a health care discipline that believes your body has the natural ability to maintain a disease free state.  Being healthy is your normal condition.  Chiropractic works in harmony with your body’s already existing tendency toward good health.

 

The demands of everyday living are often quite taxing on your spinal column and can lead to misalignment and loss of normal movement in your spinal segments.  Such problems interfere in the normal functioning of your nervous system.  The nervous system includes the brain, the spinal cord, and all the nerves that regulate millions of processes going on inside of you all the time.  Chiropractic works to ensure this system is functioning at its best by the use of periodic postural assessments, adjustments or spinal manipulative therapy and lifestyle consultations.  When you think of the nervous system as the master system of the body you can understand why chiropractic care is so important.

 

An adjustment or SMT is the main tool of the chiropractor.  Your spine may not be functioning well due to injury, misalignment or lack of movement.  Normal alignment and movement is restored by the applications of specific force delivered in a precise direction.  Chiropractors spend many years in training to develop this highly skilled therapy.

You may feel light pressure on your spinal joints and/or hear a popping sound, the result of joints opening quickly.  Adjustments rarely hurt; instead you may have immediate pain relief and feel more relaxed.

 

Our procedures are safe and natural ways to improve the functioning of the nervous system and optimize health.  In fact, the most recent research on the mechanical low back pain indicates that chiropractic is the most effective and safest first treatment option.

 

Chiropractors are doctors who undergo a rigorous education process.  After completing their university degree they spend four years and over 5,000 hours of chiropractic academic and clinical training.  If you compare Chiropractic College to medical school you will see that the requirements and core curriculum are very similar.
