Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a natural healing art and science based on the fact that the human body has recuperative, self-healing capabilities and that there is a correlation between skeletal structure and optimum bodily function. The interdependence of structure and function, and the relationship between the nervous system - particularly the spinal nerves - and the rest of the body is the core element of chiropractic's approach to healing and wellness.
We believe that your body has the ability to heal itself naturally. In fact, Chiropractic care was founded with that philosophy in mind.
For over 100 years chiropractors have focused their attention on the spine. The spinal cord projects nerves between the individual vertebrae and as such are directly affected when vertebras are not functioning correctly. When the spine misaligns or malfunctions, a disorder called a subluxation will occur.
A subluxation is a misalignment of a vertebra that inhibits nerve supply and causes a cascade of negative effects that include abnormal body posture, pain, numbness/tingling, muscle spasms and poor functioning of our vital organs. A subluxation can arise from any number of chemical, physical, or emotional stress factors. When the body is not able to communicate appropriately through the nervous system, it is not able to self-heal. Chiropractic seeks to identify, analyze and adjust subluxations.
The Doctor of Chiropractic restores the body's nerve function by adjusting the misaligned vertebra into its correct position. When nerve function is improved, bodily processes become more natural and healthy. As a science, chiropractic deals with the relationship between the spine and nervous system and the effects on the body's innate ability to express and maintain good health. As an art, chiropractic entails knowledge, skill and dexterity to locate and correct subluxations that impair and rob the body of its ability to maintain optimal health and wellness.
Our goal is to help you achieve optimum health. Thousands of others have achieved greater health and pain-free living through chiropractic.
