Chiropractic is the largest natural method of health-care in the world. Chiropractic treats the cause of physical problems, rather than just the symptoms. When a problem exists with the structure of the body, particularly the spine, it can lead to problems with the way the whole body functions, especially the nervous system. The spinal cord is the main pathway for the nervous system, and it is located in a canal within the bones of the spine. The spinal cord sends messages from the brain to the rest of your body. All movements and functions are controlled by this system.

A problem in the spine can negatively affect the spinal nerves as they come off the spinal cord. One common problem is a subluxation, or MISALIGNMENT of the spine. Misalignments can lead to many common conditions including low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, numbness of the extremities, sciatica and many others.

The primary treatment is the chiropractic adjustment. An adjustment involves the use of the chiropractor’s hands to apply a force to a specific joint of the spine or extremities. This adjustment helps to restore proper motion to the joint and to optimize function. This helps to eliminate nerve irritation and the body will be better able to heal itself.

Adjustments are safe and effective.
