Chiropractic Care

 

What is chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system—especially the spine and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body.
Chiropractic stresses the idea that the cause of many disease processes begin with the body's inability to adapt to its 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 that is functioning improperly.

How do I get the most from your chiropractic care?

-Keep Your Appointments - Each visit builds on the one before. Consistency is important!
-Eat the Right Foods - Eating the right foods will give your body the building blocks it needs for proper healing.
-Get the Proper Rest - Make sure you sleep on your back or side on a mattress that offers firm support.
-Exercise Moderately - Swimming and brisk walking are ways you can improve overall muscle tone and help speed your recovery.
-Give It Time - Regular progress examinations will be conducted, directing your doctor’s recommendations.

Do children need chiropractic care?

Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns checked for the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
Later childhood activities such as learning to walk, ride a bicycle and other activities can cause spinal problems. Many childhood health complaints that are brushed off as "growing pains" can often be traced to the spine. Regular chiropractic checkups can identify these problems and help avoid many of the health complaints seen later in adults.
Naturally, chiropractic adjusting procedures are modified to a child's spine. Most parents report that their children enjoy their chiropractic adjustments and seem healthier than other children.

Is chiropractic care safe?

In the words of the New Zealand government's inquiry, chiropractic care is "remarkably safe." Chiropractic has an excellent safely record. It is the result of a conservative approach in health that avoids invasive procedures or addictive drugs.
A thorough case history and examination help reveal areas of the spine that may be causing nervous system malfunction. This information will be used to determine the best course of care for each patient. Chiropractic care is a natural approach to better health that is proven to be safe and effective.
