While most of conventional medicine looks to potion, pill or surgery, chiropractic aims to stimulate the body’s inherent ability to heal itself by reducing stress to the nervous system. The nervous system controls every living cell, tissue, and organ in the body. Life’s stresses (car accidents, sitting at computers, bad food) all help damage the cell tissue of the body. By restoring neurologic function to different parts of the body (spine and extremities), chiropractors help those damaged tissue then can receive the proper neurologic input from the body. This mechanism allows for decrease pain, increased flexibility, and a better healing response from the body. Now the healing is coming from the patient and from some outside source!

The only way to find out if chiropractic can help is by performing a chiropractic examination. We combine a thorough history, orthopedic, neurologic, range of motion, palpation, surface electromyography, thermographs, and radiographs (if needed) of the body to determine whether chiropractic can help you.

We have a beginning and end to all our treatment programs, however, many patients decide to do regular spinal check ups once finished with their chiropractic program in order to maintain an optimal spinal health. Taking care of the spine is much like taking care of your teeth. Regular teeth cleaning helps prevent cavities and regular spinal check ups help prevent spinal injuries, arthritis, and pain.

The time that it take to heal typically depends on long the problem has been present. We are glad to report that most of our patients experience relief within the first week or two of care.
