Chiropractic focuses on the interrelationship of various parts of the body, including physiological and biochemical aspects, as well as the structural, spinal, musculoskeletal, neurological, and vascular systems of the body.
The chiropractic approach to health care is one that views well-being as an integrated approach to life that includes special attention to proper nutrition, exercise, and healthy emotional and environmental relationships. Doctors of chiropractic treat their patients by gently adjusting the spinal column and other parts of the body to relieve pain and help prevent illness.
The spine can be thrown out of alignment through stress, an accident, a sports injury, or simply through overexertion. When the spinal column is out of alignment, the nervous system is unable to function properly, which can be the source of back and neck pain, headaches, and other health problems.
Chiropractic is non-surgical and drug-free. Specific treatment for new patients is determined by a chiropractor after consultation, an evaluation of case history, physical examination, and x-rays if necessary.
