Chiropractic care is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism and that the nervous system is essential to all bodily processes. The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and a network of nerves. The nerves exit the spinal cord through spaces between the adjacent vertebrae. When two vertebrae become misaligned, this can pinch the nerve causing interference with the signal that travels along that nerve pathway. It can also cause pain.

 

Chiropractors use spinal adjustments to re-align the vertebrae, allowing the flow of the nerve transmission to return to normal.

 

Misalignment of the vertebrae often occurs very early in the disease process, well before the onset of pain or other symptoms.

 

Chiropractors help your body restore proper spinal biomechanics and improve nerve function. Your visit will begin with a thorough case history, an orthopedic and neurological exam, and xrays if needed. These examinations help identify areas of spinal malfunction and nervous system interference.

 

The findings of these examinations are explained and a plan of care is recommended. Progress is monitored with each visit.
