About the Practice

Chiropractic is based on the understanding that our bodies are in a continuous state of healing. This healing is directed by the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). This is the focus of the Chiropractor; to make sure the communication is open from the brain to the body and from the body back to the brain. We detect spine subluxations* which can hinder these communications.

Chiropractic is a drugless profession. Drugs can sometimes cover symptoms and mask the problem so the patient "feels" good. Meanwhile, the disease processes continue for years until finally the chances of recovery without surgery may be limited. Symptoms, such as pain, occur for a reason. If we cover the symptoms with drugs we cannot always get to the underlying cause.

Chiropractic uses specific osseous adjustments to align the vertebrae and remove interference. This is accomplished in a variety of ways and is usually not only painless, but often feels good. The result is a healthier better working body.

Chiropractors do not treat diseases. We simply detect and correct subluxations. Subluxations can cause disease. Removing subluxations will allow the body to work better.

*Subluxation (sub''luk-sa'shun) - Any vertebrae which has lost its proper juxta-position with the bone above, below, or both, which impinges on a nerve and interferes with nervous impulses.
