ABOUT CHIROPRACTIC MEDICINE
Chiropractic Medicine is a unique form of health care that focuses on dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems and the subsequent effects on general health. Doctors of Chiropractic Medicine assess the body and correct structural abnormalities to create the conditions for health: full, pain free, biomechanics. Chiropractors help a wide array of conditions and patients- from back and nerve pain to migraine headaches, and pediatrics to geriatrics. Anyone with a body and who is looking to get the most out of it will benefit from Chiropractic Medicine. Chiropractors use a multitude of modalities but are best known for the adjustment, or manipulation; a gentle, precise, quick thrust to a joint which helps restore pain free range of motion. However, Chiropractors understand that an adjustment is not appropriate in all cases, which is why there is so much more to a Chiropractic appointment than just an adjustment.
