Chiropractic Care

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." - Thomas Edison  

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a branch of heathcare that concerns itself with the relationship between the structure of the body and its function, as it relates to the nervous system.

• What do Chiropractors do? Chiropractors examine the spine for vertebral subluxations (or Subluxation, for short). If a subluxation is present, your chiropractor will correct it by performing a spinal adjustment.
• What is a vertebral Subluxation? A subluxation is a misaligned spinal bone (vertebra) that can affect sensitive nerve tissue. Subluxations are often painless.
• How do subluxations affect health? Subluxations can damage joints, pinch or irritate nerves, contribute to spinal degeneration (osteoarthritis), alter organ, muscle and disc function, decrease your resistance to disease, and disrupt the proper communication between your brain and your body.
• What is an adjustment? A chiropractic adjustment is a carefully controlled and directed pressure applied to a vertebrae in order to restore its' normal alignment or motion. When vertebrae are properly adjusted, nervous system function is restored. Adjustments are painless and are exceptionally safe. In fact, most people feel a sense of ease and relaxation after receiving an adjustment. The result is that you live healthier and pain free.

What causes spinal problems?

The stresses and strains of everyday living, such as poor posture, sleeping in an awkward position, slips, falls, sports, gardening and even housework can cause spinal problems called subluxations. In children, activities such as learning to walk, play and even the birthing process can create subluxations. In fact, most of the problems that we suffer from as adults had their origins early on in life. Left uncorrected, they progress over time, setting the stage for a re-emergence of the problem as a far worse condition. It is therefore essential to correct these subluxations early on while they are still easily manageable, in order to prevent more serious conditions later on.
