What is Chiropractic
Care?
Chiropractic is a safe and effective health solution for the
treatment and management of conditions relating to all your joints, muscles,
ligaments and fascia as well as preservation of the function of the nervous
system. The chiropractic approach to
health care is holistic, stressing the patient’s overall health and
wellness. It recognizes that many
factors affect health, including exercise, diet, rest, the environment, and
heredity.
Chiropractors are primary care Doctors. No medical referral is necessary and costs
of chiropractic care are commonly included in extended healthcare plans.
Chiropractors
provide natural, drug free, non-surgical treatments and rely on the body's
inherent recuperative abilities. The
hands are a chiropractor’s primary tool.
Gentle spinal and peripheral joint mobilization and adjustments are
aimed at maintaining good alignment and mobility.
Treatment approach involves addressing the entire neuromusculoskeletal
system. The human body is a highly
connected structure. It is our philosophy
that assessing the whole body is essential for correcting the root of many
conditions. In our practice we utilize a
variety of techniques. These include
(but are not limited to) drop piece assisted manual therapy, diversified
chiropractic technique, Webster technique (in pregnancy), craniosacral therapy,
soft tissue therapy and various exercise strategies. In addition, we offer education regarding
various health concerns, advice relating to proper ergonomics and posture, as
well as prescription of orthotics, all part of a comprehensive treatment
program aimed at delivering maximum benefits to our patients.
