What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic care is a natural method of health care that treats the causes of physical problems rather than just the symptoms. This prevention-based medicine is based on the simple but powerful premise that under a healthy lifestyle, your body is better able to heal itself. Research has gone further to show that a well functioning spine with the proper curvature and strength of supporting muscles and ligaments does not degenerate as a spine associated with a de-conditioned core and correlates with a longer lifespan.

The spinal cord, which is protected by your spine, is the main pathway of your nervous system.  It controls feeling, movement, and function throughout your body. Bad posture which stretches your spinal cord, irritation through spasmed muscles that compresses the little roots that leave the spinal cord, and degeneration caused by abnormal stressors on the bones and the discs can change the way that the nervous system functions.

Extensive research studies have shown that chiropractic care relieves back pain more effectively than any other type of treatment and tends to have better longterm pain-related benefits than surgery and/or medications.  Please read our references section for informative and easy to read information about chiropractic care as well as our other offerings.

Why Exercise and

Chiropractic Care

Together?


Your muscles and tendons hold your spine in its correct position, if your muscles are weak, the spine folds on itself, putting all the pressure on the discs of your spine, which are made of a jelly like substance.  Once these discs are squeezed down and degenerate, your spine begins to re-mold...ie.. Bone Spurs and other nasty things!
