Chiropractic aims to restore your body's innate ability to be healthy. When your nervous system is functioning optimally, every cell, tissue, and organ in your body is designed to resist disease and maintain good health. Chiropractors work to identify and remove any interference, often caused by misaligned vertebrae (subluxations), in your nervous system. By improving spinal function, you enhance nervous system function. The goal is to eliminate any barriers hindering your body's natural healing process through specific chiropractic adjustments. A healthy spine combined with a balanced lifestyle are the keys to achieving optimal health!

Absolutely! Chiropractic has an outstanding safety record. It adopts a conservative and natural approach to health, steering clear of invasive procedures or addictive medications. Proven safe from birth all the way through late adulthood. You can see this in the stark contrast in malpractice rates between chiropractors and other healthcare professionals. Chiropractors' malpractice premiums are a mere fraction of those for medical doctors.

No, each patient is unique. The doctor assesses each individual's specific spinal issue and tailors a personalized course of care. Every chiropractic adjustment builds upon the previous one. The recommendations are based on years of training and experience, ensuring that each patient's care plan is distinctly tailored to their needs.

It's highly advised against. Chiropractic adjustments involve a precise force applied in a specific direction to a particular joint. This makes it nearly impossible to self-adjust safely, accurately, and effectively. While it's possible to maneuver in certain ways to create a "popping" sound, it's usually counterproductive and can even be risky. Adjusting the spine is best left to the professionals!

Both visible light and X-rays consist of photon particles conveyed over electromagnetic energy. When carefully controlled, this energy can be used to reveal the internal structure of the body. We find these pictures quite helpful:

• Provide a structural record of your spine

• Locate fractures or other signs of trauma

• Identify evidence of long term spinal degeneration

• Confirm other examination findings

Adjustments don't always produce a sound, but when they do, it's often described as a spinal "release" or "popping" sound. This sound occurs when gas rushes in to fill the partial vacuum created as joints are slightly separated. It's painless and completely harmless.

Absolutely. Unfortunately, many individuals who undergo spinal surgery find their original symptoms return months or even years later. This is known as "failed back surgery syndrome." Chiropractic care may help prevent the need for additional surgeries. In fact, if chiropractic care is sought initially, back surgery can often be avoided altogether.

While chiropractic care may not address every health issue, it has shown success in treating a wide range of health problems beyond just back-related concerns. This is because of its positive impact on nerve system function. When your nerve supply is functioning optimally, your body's natural healing capacity can improve a variety of health issues.
