Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that focuses on diagnosing and treating the musculoskeletal and nervous system primarily through manual manipulation of the joints in the spine and extremities. Chiropractors traditionally believe many health issues can be traced back to problems with the spine and its alignment and therefore promote the idea of vitalism; in which the body has the ability to heal and self regulate when given the right conditions without interference in the body.

 

Accidents, falls, overexertion, work and stress can all negatively impact your spine or other joints. These changes impact tissues, the nervous system and other areas of the body. Left unresolved, this can make you more susceptible to chronic problems. 

 

The word chiropractic means “to be done by hand”. An adjustment is a very safe, specific, controlled force applied to a joint to restore mobility. Chiropractors use adjustments to restore joint function to support the nervous system and reduce pain to help patients improve their quality of life. Chiropractors use scientific research, clinical experience and patient preferences to provide the best care possible and may also emphasize lifestyle modifications, exercise and nutrition in the care of the human frame.
