Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts which is based upon the understanding that good health, in part, depends upon a normally functioning nervous system (especially the spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body). “Chiropractic,” comes from the Greek word Chiropraktikos, meaning “effective treatment by hand.” Chiropractic stresses the idea that the cause of many disease processes begins with the body’s inability to adapt to is environment. It looks to address these diseases not by the use of drugs and chemicals, but by locating and adjusting a musculoskeletal area of the body which is functioning improperly.

Doctors of chiropractic have been trained to treat a wide range of health issues.  Traditional methods of consultation, physical examination, case history and  x-rays  are used by the doctor.  In addition, a structural evaluation is performed to help arrive at a individualized course of treatment for patients.

Chiropractic physicians have been trained to evaluate the structure and function of the spine to detect subluxations. The spinal column is composed of four bones which begin at the base of your skull and end just below your waist.  Thirty one pairs of spinal nerves extend down the spine and exit though a series of openings.  These nerves form a complicated network which influences every living tissue in the body.

Displacements or misalignments of the spinal column resulting from accidents, falls, stress, sports and a multitude of other factors can cause irritation to spinal nerve roots. Chiropractic teaches that reducing or eliminating this irritation will result in your body operating more efficiently and comfortably.

Exercise, proper nutrition and lifestyle modifications are all important aspects that chiropractic stresses to promote physical and mental health. While chiropractors do not use drugs or surgery, we do refer patients to medical doctors when those interventions are necessary. Today, chiropractors, medical doctors, physical therapists and other health care professionals all work together in helping the patient achieve optimal health.
