About Chiropractic
 The chiropractic approach to health care is holistic, stressing the patient's overall well being. It is based on the belief, that proper alignment of the spinal column is essential for optimal health. Chiropractic care is particularly useful in the treatment and prevention of lower back pain, neck pain, headaches and neuro-musculoskeletal injuries.
Chiropractors treat patients primarily by manual adjustments, especially of the spinal column. We utilize different therapies such as water, light, ultrasound, electric, cold and heat to aid in the healing of the muscles, joints, and nerves. We may make dietary and nutritional recommendations, advice on exercise and sleeping habits and also may suggest and apply the use of supports such as straps, tapes, bandages and braces if deemed necessary.
Chiropractors do not prescribe drugs or perform surgery. If we feel a patient condition is outside the scope of our practice, we'll refer that individual to the appropriate health care specialist.
