Chiropractic
The word "CHIROPRACTIC" means to be done by hand. Chiropractic is a health care profession that takes a natural approach to treat the spine and other body points and their connection to the nervous system.
Our goal for the patient is to, whenever possible, avoid unnecessary drugs or surgery.
A chiropractor is a primary doctor who specializes in spinal and extremity health and generalized well-being.
We focus on prevention and diagnosing the underlying problem, not treating the symptoms.
What Causes Misalignments of the Spine?
A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle, safe, precise, controlled force applied to the joint to restore proper function and mobility. Many problems can create a misalignment in the spine.
