What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic health care primarily focuses on examining, evaluating and treating the neck, spine and pelvis to determine if one or many areas are malfunctioning and thus causing abnormal "biomechanics" or body movements.

Through aging, gravity, emotional stress, previous injuries and poor posture, our bodies can also become out of balance. This can translate in our bodies as loss of energy, decrease in flexibility, backache, headache and general aches and pains.

Chiropractic has treatments for reducing or correcting misalignments so that normal, natural body function may be restored. This is called an adjustment.

What can I expect on a First Visit and Subsequent Visits?

When a patient walks through our doors, they quickly feel comfortable and know they are in the right place. Our staffs' smiling faces and competence is a warm welcome.

The initial exam includes a thorough consultation, physical examination and x-rays, as well as evaluation of any structural abnormalities. The doctor will determine a treatment plan or strategy to help the patient return to optimal health. Often, physical therapy will be performed to decrease pain and restore movement and function before or after the adjustment. This may consist of heat, ice, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, intersegmental mobilization, or massage therapy.

Our massage therapists will do specific bodywork as prescribed by the doctors to stretch and work tight muscles and unlock restrictions, often helping your body move naturally and heal quicker than just chiropractic treatments alone.

The doctor may also suggest hydrotherapy massage treatments on our AQUA-MED hydrotherapy table. Our powerful and relaxing Aquabed hydrotherapy table has been shown in international research to help relieve suffering caused from back pain.
