Learn about Chiropractic Care
We focus on restoring normal movement to your joints to reduce pain and improve function, which improves neurological function and output.
What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a drug-free and non-surgical science. Chiropractors focus on the central and peripheral nervous system which manages the body’s vast chemical interactions to help ensure proper function and consequently better health.
The brain is a sensory and motor system that sends messages through the spinal cord across a huge network of spinal nerves to deliver information to every cell, organ, and system of the body. Chiropractors promote greater health and function by removing interference in this system by restoring normal function through adjustments and treatment of the structures of the body, especially the spinal column.
Is chiropractic treatment ongoing?
The hands-on nature of chiropractic treatment is essentially what requires patients to visit the chiropractor a number of times. To be treated by a chiropractor, a patient needs to be in his or her office. In contrast, a course of treatment from medical doctors often involves a pre-established plan that is conducted at home (i.e. taking a course of antibiotics once a day for a couple of weeks).
Chiropractors may provide acute, chronic, and/or preventive care thus making a certain number of visits sometimes necessary. Your chiropractor should tell you the extent of treatment recommended and how long you can expect it to last. Returning a patient to pre-injury status is the goal, whenever possible.
Is chiropractic treatment safe?
Chiropractic treatment is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small. Like with any medical treatment a comprehensive history should be taken to determine a course of treatment. If chiropractic care is not appropriate for your condition, a referral to a provider who can better manage your condition will be made. According to the ACA, it is estimated that chiropractors treat more than 35 million Americans (adults and children) annually.

What can chiropractors adjust?
Chiropractors most commonly are known for working on the pelvis and spine. However, you have joints throughout your body that can become limited or altered in motion. Many people do not realize that shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and feet are common areas that chiropractors will treat to help their patients improve.

Are all patients adjusted the same way?
Not at all. Chiropractors alter the force of adjustment, whether by hand or instrument. It is constantly being adapted and modified to the individual. Like with any treatment, adjusting and soft tissue manipulation are tailored to the patient’s specific needs and tolerances.

What is non-surgical spinal decompression?
Nonsurgical spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back or neck pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. This treatment typically is used for patients with radiating pain down the arms or legs or decreased function in the arms or legs. Imaging is generally performed prior to this treatment to confirm the likelihood of success.
