What Is Chiropractic Care? ::
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.
