What is Chiropractic?

A system of therapies based upon the theory that disease is caused by abnormal function of the nervous system. It attempts to restore normal function by manipulation and treatment of the structures of the body, especially those of the spinal column.

Chiropractors focus on restoring proper spinal biomechanics, thereby improving nervous system function. Starting with a thorough case history, to get a complete background on past health, your Chiropractor can get an understanding of your current state of health.

From there, a discussion of the problem with you is followed by a thorough orthopaedic, neurological, and chiropractic examination. X-rays may also be taken to uncover structural and functional problems associated with the spinal column or extremities. From here, your Chiropractor will recommend the best course of action for your individual condition. If chiropractic adjustments are deemed necessary, progress is monitored with periodic examinations and follow-up reports.
