Chiropractic

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is about human health and disease. This drugless profession places emphasis on the nervous system and its inter-relationships with the spine.

How it works.

Chiropractic is distinct because it emphasizes the reduction of spinal or pelvic rearrangements. This is achieved by adjustments to the spine, which normalizes the relationship of the vertebrae. It works by reducing affects of built up physical, emotional, and chemical stress on the nervous system, which can cause tension in the spine and pelvis…

Additionally, other aspects of your health such as exercise, rest, diet, nutrition, food supplements, etc. are considered on an individual basis.

How long will it take to get well?

This is a common question that has no definite answer. It depends on the individual and their circumstances.

However, based on treating many cases of a similar to yours we will be able to give you an estimate based on our knowledge and experience.

To most people, “being well” means being free from the symptoms that initially brought you to see us. To be truly well can go much beyond symptomatic relief; the body can function in ways most people aren’t even aware of.

When should I visit the office?

It’s common for people to visit our office after having spent weeks, months or years in pain while trying to get better using drugs and other types of therapies.

When this has proved to be ineffective, they’ve sought chiropractic care as a last resort, usually on the recommendation of a friend.

A typical visit to this office will include an initial consultation to confirm mutual goals between the doctor and you, followed by a detailed health case history, a chiropractic neurological, spinal and postural examination.

Here’s what your first visit consists of:

  • consultation with the doctor to discuss you or your family member’s problem.
  • An examination to determine the cause of the problem.

And on your second visit:

  • A complete review of findings with recommendations for care. If yours is not a chiropractic case, a referral to another professional will be made.
