Chiropractic care focuses on disorders of the body’s musculoskeletal structure and nervous system. The theory of practice is that the proper alignment of the musculoskeletal system will allow the body to heal without medication or surgery. Most patients seek treatment for a neuromuscular problem, especially back pain, neck pain, leg pain, headaches and migraines, and joint pain. This pain is often caused by a tissue injury from an accident or trauma, improperly lifting a heavy object, repetitive stress on joints and poor posture.

Our chiropractic treatments utilize a therapeutic procedure called “spinal manipulation” or adjustment. This manipulation is safe, as we are trained to recognize and diagnose the source of the pain and where to make the adjustment. Using this hands-on approach, controlled pressure is applied on the joints that have pain and constrained movement. By compressing the affected area, it is put back into alignment, resulting in more mobility and pain relief.

In addition to general tissue injuries and back pain, people who experience a work-related accident or injury will utilize their workers compensation insurance coverage and see a chiropractor. Treatment generally gets people back to work and functioning quickly. According to the American Chiropractic Association ACA, one-half of all working Americans admit to having back pain symptoms each year. Chiropractic care is often the safest method of treatment to provide patients with lasting back pain relief. Another large segment of people we successfully treat have a car accident injury, and are suffering from neck pain or whiplash.

Whether you’re coming in for general chiropractic care or because an injury or accident, your first visit to our practice will involve an initial evaluation. This involves a physical examination, getting a complete medical history from you and may also include diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, or lab tests. After giving you a diagnosis, your chiropractor will discuss a course of treatment. Chiropractors thoroughly evaluate the first-time patient, but we will refer you to the right health care provider if chiropractic treatment isn’t appropriate. We are also skilled at coordinating care with other health care professionals, like your family physician.
