Chiropractic Care
Adjustments to normalize the function of the spine.
What is Chiropractic Care
The nervous system is the supervening system of the body. It controls and coordinates every single cell, tissue, organ, and muscle in the entire body. When this system is out of balance, disease processes and symptoms begin to develop.
Chiropractic care focuses on the normal alignment of the spine, and its relationship to proper function of the central nervous system in order to address your health concerns. Due to the influence of the spine on the brain and nervous system, every time there is a problem in the alignment, movement, tone, or function of the spine, the nervous system is being affected.
Chiropractic recognizes that the body is programmed for health, not sickness, and thus is self-healing and self-regulating as long as there is no interference to these inherent mechanisms to heal and adapt.
Improper alignment of the spine may decrease our body’s ability to adapt to the various stresses in our lives. Stress does not cause disease, but the inability to properly adapt to the stresses of an individual’s environment does.
Chiropractic Care Focus
The chiropractic adjustment serves to normalize the function of the spine, positively affecting the nervous system, balancing its function and improving communication between the body and the brain, and therefore the brain and the body. Proper nervous system function has been shown to normalize the stress response, optimizing the body’s ability to adapt to its environment. Call today for a complimentary consultation.

Chiropractic Care FAQ
What to Expect at Your Chiropractic Visit
What is a chiropractic adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment occurs when a chiropractor introduces a very precise force to a specific area of the spine. The purpose of an adjustment is to restore proper movement and alignment of the spine, positively influence the neuromusculoskeletal system, and promote healing to the body. This often results in relieving pain and discomfort and helping to restore range of motion.
Is a chiropractic adjustment painful?
Chiropractic care is very safe and extremely gentle. The chiropractic adjustment is tailor-made to each individual. We have extensive experience in taking care of families and individuals from newborn babies to athletes to seniors and everyone in between. Our care is so precise and specific, we are also able to see individuals who have had previous surgeries or have hardware that is anchored into the spine or extremities.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
Referrals are not needed to see a chiropractor. Chiropractic care is easily accessible and usually more affordable than people may believe.
Chiropractors are also highly educated and trained. This allows us to refer you to a medical specialist if it is needed.
Although you do not need a referral, we often receive referrals from pediatricians, orthopedic doctors, family doctors, and more.
