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 from back and nerve pain to migraine headaches, as well as every stage of life: pediatrics to geriatrics.  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. We take the time to evaluate your specific conditions and frequently use a combination of soft tissue treatments in addition to any manipulation of the skeletal system.
