Chiropractic Care

Relieve your pain. Improve your health. Naturally.

Chiropractic:

Chiropractic healthcare focuses on the spinal bones, vertebrae, and underlying nervous system (brain stem, spinal cord, and nerve roots). To make it simple, when a bone moves out of place, it can pinch the exiting nerve roots or press on the brain stem/spinal cord, and then cause dysfunction at that joint or body area. The nerves control all of our body functions therefore, if you pinch the nerve you cause dysfunction to that body area. It cannot tell the body part what to do and it becomes diseased, in pain, or performs abnormally.

Chiropractic adjustments move the misaligned bones back into their proper anatomical positions. This is important because the joints in your skeletal system can impede health when they are stuck or misaligned. An adjustment will restore proper movement, blood flow, and electrical flow to the area and eliminate pain or the improper messaging to that body part. An occasional adjustment, or regular chiropractic adjustment, to the skeletal system is good for maintaining wellness in the long run because minor traumas occur on a regular basis.

We also adjust extremities, which keep you moving. Yes, we adjust feet, ankles, knees, shoulders, wrists, elbows, and jaw bones too. Think TMJ, carpal tunnel, rotator cuff, computer and cell phone posture, sprained ankles, sports injuries, knee arthritis.

If chiropractic does not address the pain or abnormal function of your body, we look to physical therapy, massage therapy, nutritional supplements, cold laser therapy, additional testing, and specialist referrals to best serve your needs.

Our Chiropractic Physicians provide treatment for:

  • Spinal and extremity joint pain, headaches, radiculopathy (arm, leg, shoulder, rib pain), disc protrusions, and other related neuromusculoskeletal conditions.

  • Improved range of motion and flexibility. Proper joint alignment helps reduce arthritic progression.

  • Specific techniques for osteoporotic, arthritic, geriatric, and pregnant patients. We adjust children of all ages, from infancy to adolescents.

  • Pain management, muscle and joint reeducation, auto accidents, sports injuries, wellness care, and more.

  • Nervous system attunement, integrity, and optimal signaling.

CHIROPRACTIC AND PREGNANCY:

Chiropractic if you are pregnant? Especially during pregnancy! Massage therapy if you are pregnant? Absolutely! We even have pregnancy pillows that allow you to lie comfortably.

Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy? Very safe and sensible for your body and your baby. We also specialize in the Webster technique for Breech presentation prior to birth.

Is it difficult to receive chiropractic adjustments when pregnant? Not at all! We use comfortable techniques and tables that accommodate your changing physical frame.

How late in pregnancy is it safe to receive chiropractic adjustments? Up until, even through, labor. Aligning the spine is not unsafe during pregnancy, it is actually just the opposite, very beneficial throughout pregnancy.

Can back pain be helped during pregnancy? Yes. We work with your body to heal your body. By realigning the spine and pelvis, we are able to decrease pressure on your structural frame, reduce muscle spasm, improve nerve function to the uterus, and reduce pain.

Do I have to have a problem in pregnancy to see a chiropractor? No, chiropractic should be used as a preventative form of healthcare throughout your pregnancy. Periodic spinal “tune-ups” should be as common as medical check-ups.

How does chiropractic care affect my child? Children benefit from chiropractic care before they are born, by having a mother that receives prenatal spinal check-ups. Children also benefit from regular spinal check-ups following birth. Colic, unexplained crying, poor appetite, breathing difficulties, suckling, spit up, ear infections, and allergic reactions can often be traced to nervous system dysfunction caused by a malfunctioning spine.
