The chiropractic approach to healthcare is holistic, meaning that it addresses your overall health.  Stress, accidents, poor posture and lack of sleep are a few influences that can cause your spine to fall out of its natural alignment leading to back or neck pain, headaches and other kinds of pain.  Spinal adjustments to correct misalignments are what make a doctor of chiropractic unique in comparison to any other type of healthcare professional.  An “adjustment” refers to the specific force chiropractors apply to vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally.  The ultimate goal of the adjustment is to restore the body to its natural state of optimum health.  Correcting misalignments results in increased range of motion, reduced muscle dysfunction, reduced nerve irritability, and reduced pain.

A large majority of people have muscle tension and joints that do not move properly.  On many occasions, this problem is undetected by most people.  It may be due to your job that requires heavy lifting, twisting, standing and harsh work conditions.  Other positions require long hours of sitting, computer use, or repetitive movements that are no less stressful on our body.  As chiropractors, we are trained to locate these regions that, although may be functioning for you, are doing so incorrectly.
