Did you know…?
There are a number of different reasons why patients decide to seek out chiropractic care.
Whether you are getting adjusted for headaches, low back pain, or anything in between, there are a number of ways that our spinal adjustments can help your overall health.
Taking care of your spine means taking care of your entire nervous system.
When you take care of your nervous system, your entire body can benefit.
This is why there are so many great benefits of chiropractic care that the average person doesn’t even know about.
MAINTAIN AND MAXIMIZE YOUR HEALTH.
Chiropractors are best known for safely and effectively treating acute back and neck pain, as well as headaches; whereas a medical doctor might prescribe pain medicine, muscle relaxers or anti-inflammatory drugs, and an orthopedic doctor might suggest surgery.
Chiropractic Care vs. Prescribed Medicine:
I will treat your back problems by hand through manipulation of the spine.
Chiropractors bring the musculoskeletal structure into proper alignment, change the position of your body, and apply pressure to particular points along the spine that are not properly aligned. This results in a popping noise similar to the one created when you crack your knuckles; the noise is created by a change in pressure in your joints as gas bubbles are released.
By adjusting the spine with their hands at particular pressure points, chiropractors unblock nerve energy and allow it to flow better down your spin and throughout your entire body. The brain sends messages down the spinal cord and out through the nerves to the rest of your body. If certain nerves are squeezed by a twist in the spine, they won’t function as well as if they were straight.
“Chiropractic care allows the nerves to work at their most optimum ability, and allowing the body to heal at its optimum ability.”
Repeated visits can, over time, realign your spine to optimize overall health.

RELIEVE STRESS
When your nervous system is out of line and your entire muscular and skeletal systems are not in the proper position, chances are your entire body will feel out of line.

Over time, regular chiropractic adjustments can help align tilting and curves in your spine and help you improve your posture.

With regularly chiropractic care you can improve this posture and stand taller and stronger.
