Chiropractic CareHelping You Heal and Regain Function. |
|
When joints and muscles are not functioning properly, abnormal wear and tear can result. This forces your body to compensate and work harder, which leads to pain, fatigue and a variety of other health issues. Our bodies are resilient and may eventually recover on their own, but chiropractic care can speed up the healing process and assist us in regaining normal mobility and function.
Although most people seek out chiropractic services when they are experiencing pain, our ultimate goal is to educate our patients about injury prevention, health optimization and enhanced performance in their daily lives.

do chiropractors only treat the neck and back?
No. While chiropractors do treat neck and back issues, we focus on the joints, muscles, and nervous system of the entire body. We treat shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. We address your body as a whole.
what is a chiropractic adjustment like?
An adjustment feels like light pressure applied to the spine or to the joints in the body. Most of the time, patients feel a sense of release and increased mobility as a result.
are chiropractic adjustments safe?
YES! Studies have shown that a chiropractic adjustment is extremely safe. It is considered the best conservative alternative to prescription medications and surgeries. While some medications and surgeries are necessary, it's important to determine the least invasive approach to your health. A thorough examination will reveal the few rare people who are not good candidates for chiropractic care and might benefit from other forms of treatment. If you have concerns, please let us know. Most importantly, we want you to feel relaxed and comfortable.
is there an age limit for getting a chiropractic adjustment?
Chiropractic adjustments are for ALL ages, from babies to seniors and everyone in between. Adjustments are great for active people as well as for the majority of the work force who may sit for 8+ hours per day. Each person receives an adjustment based on their unique traits, including but not limited to age and pre-existing health issues.
is it true that i'd need to continue chiropractic care for my whole life?
No. You do not need to continue treatment once you recover from your pain or discomfort, but continued treatment can help maintain your body's optimal function. It is certainly not mandatory, but why not focus on preventative care? Yes, most people seek out chiropractic care to relieve pain, but just like getting your teeth cleaned or your car's oil changed, your body needs attention even when no pain or discomfort seems evident. Over time, you may actually spend less money on your health if you invest in preventative care.
