Most patients begin care because they are experiencing pain which may have developed over time or be the result of an injury. Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (the spine) and biomechanical function ( joint movement) which is coordinated by the nervous system and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system (brain and spinal cord) controls the function of every cell, tissue, and organ of your body.

Your brain is a computer that monitors, regulates and even coordinates function between different parts of your body. Your spinal cord is a superhighway of nerves that allows the flow of information between your brain and different parts of your body. The Vertebral column (your spine) houses the spinal cord and between the individual bones (vertebrae) are openings through which the spinal nerves (with arteries and veins) exit carrying information to and from all the areas of your body. Mis-alignment of the vertebrae close or constrict these openings causing a disruption in the flow of information between the brain and the body. Chiropractors call this a Subluxation.

Our Doctor is an expert in the art of re-aligning the spine, a practice called ‘adjusting’ and rehabilitating the injured soft tissue. An adjustment can be preformed in hundreds of different ways and by many different techniques, all providing controlled pressure in a specific direction to return the spinal segments to their normal position and restore their range of motion.

Chiropractors believe that in addition to restoring range of motion, increasing flexibility, and decreasing unequal pressure on the spinal joints which may cause degeneration (arthritis), chiropractic provides much more to the body. The spine is a vital part of the human body, it allows communication between your nervous system and organs of your body. Removing the pressure on the nerves permits the transfer of information necessary for the body to heal itself.
