Chiropractic Services

Chiropractic is a health-care profession that focuses on the structure of the spine, and its connection to the function of the nervous system and how that relationship affects both preservation and restoration of health. Because the nervous system controls every cell and organ in your body, and is housed within the spine, chiropractors focus their attention on the proper movement and alignment of the spinal joints to maintain healthy nerve function and, thus, optimal well-being. Improper spine and nerve function can lead to symptoms like pain, inflammation, stiffness and tension, lack of energy, changes  in blood pressure, just to name a few. Left unresolved, these can lead to serious health problems.

The word “chiropractic” comes from Greek for “done by hand.” If the joints of the spine shift out of place, get stuck or aren’t moving properly, chiropractic adjustments are applied manually to help restore alignment, motion and function.  Because chiropractic emphasizes the body’s ability to heal itself when given the right support, chiropractors also provide soft-tissue therapies, like massage, lifestyle tips, exercise recommendations and nutritional advice. This conservative, practical approach to health helps patients maintain optimal health while avoiding unnecessary drugs and/or surgery.
