What is Chiropractic?

Many people lack an understanding of chiropractic. Simply stated, chiropractic is a science, art and philosophy that focuses on the relationship between the nervous system and function (health) of the body. Improper motion or positioning of the bones in the spine can irritate nerves, joints, muscles, and ligaments. These joint fixations may cause pain, inflammation, spasm and/or swelling of the affected structures. Chiropractors restore proper biomechanics, helping to identify, reduce, and eliminate the source of the problem (condition), allowing the body to heal itself.

TREATMENT

Treatment protocols vary depending on each patient's needs and conditions. Below is a brief description of the different types of care your doctor may select for you.
