Why Choose Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is the art of healing with the hands.  It’s the science of restoring a natural state of movement in the joints of the spine and the rest of the body, so that the electrical impulses of the nervous system can properly flow.

Our nerves pass through little holes at places where bones come together and create a joint.  The spine is actually a chain of bones that protect the body’s electrical system---the master control box of our body.  This electrical system is the....

·    “information highway” between the brain and every other moving part of the body.
·    master of movement and sensation, and of balance and position.
·    modulator of the immune system which protects us from toxins, germs and allergens, and heals us when we’re sick

If bones fit together so that they move smoothly and without a hitch, they create a healthy joint.  But, if you’re injured and keep doing things the way you usually do, two or more bones can get stuck together.  This irritates the nerves and creates pain and distortion, as you try to maneuver around the problem.  

Chiropractic care mobilizes the bones, restoring their natural motion, and helps eliminate distortions that were created by an injury.  The result?  You feel better, and you can move better.

Chiropractic adjustments look simple and easy, because chiropractors are experts in their field.

Although adjustments may look simple, each one is based on a complex analysis.  A chiropractic doctor factors in the elements of patient size, joint size, patient age, condition, inflammation, health, prior injuries and surgeries, before determining which tools will be used to help you heal as quickly as possible.  

To prepare you for an adjustment, soft tissue work and massage or light therapy are provided.  The doctor then determines the amount of force, the speed, the vector and torque required to set your joint into its natural motion without harm.  Only then is your joint adjusted, to restore its natural motion.  Following the adjustment, you’re told how to take care of yourself, in ways that help you heal faster.

So, why choose chiropractic?  Because a chiropractor....

·    knows when to adjust – and when NOT to adjust.
·    knows that sometimes a joint may be set into proper motion with a tiny thrust on a big person and a big thrust on a tiny person.
·    teaches patients how they participate in their problems and entices them to participate in their wellness instead.
·    resolves the patient’s initial complaints, and the ones after that, and the ones after that, and so on and so on.
