About Chiropractic Care

In addition to treating back and neck pain, chiropractors treat many other conditions. More importantly, we can help you attain and then maintain good health throughout life.

There are three stages of chiropractic care, each accomplishing different goals. The stage of care you are in depends on your condition and how you are responding to treatment.

The spine is an amazing structure that supports our body and serves as the passageway for nerves that allow us to function. Understanding the spine and how to take care of it goes a long way toward keeping us healthy and moving.

Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct subluxations, or imbalances primarily in the spine but also in the extremities that can interfere with nerve signals that travel between the brain and the body.

X-rays can be a useful tool for identifying several spine and joint conditions and for guiding treatment. They allow us to see abnormal curvature of the spine and evaluate arthritic or growth changes that could not be detected without imaging

Research shows that chiropractic offers safe and effective treatment for a wide range of conditions. Because chiropractic care is natural and drug-free, risk is extremely small—less than that of most medications.

Chiropractic takes a natural approach to restoring and maintaining health. Whether you are looking for preventive care or treatment for a painful condition, chiropractic treatment can help.

Are chiropractic treatments safe? Do adjustments hurt? Is it bad to “crack” your own back? These are just a few of the questions answered here.
