1. What Is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is safe and effective treatment
for many types of neuromusculoskeletal (relating to the nerves, muscles,
and joints) and other conditions. It is based on the scientific fact
that your body is under the control of your brain and nervous system.
When spinal or extremity joints become restricted, your nerves become
irritated, causing pain and other health problems. Chiropractic involves
the science of detecting these abnormal joint restrictions (or subluxations),
and restoring proper joint motion & neurologic functioning through
manipulation or the adjustment. In our practices, we assess & treat
many other contributing factors of your problem including the muscles
and other soft tissues, as well as your lifestyle, diet/nutrition,
exercise, ergonomics, and posture. Since chiropractic physicians also
receive extensive diagnostic training, we can help you to decide if
you would be likely to benefit from chiropractic care, or if you should
consult a medical doctor or another health care provider.
