What is Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is simple, effective and remarkably safe. Chiropractors assess, diagnose and treat disorders of the musculoskeletal system (i,e, joints, muscles, nerves, tendons, and bones), without drugs or surgery. Chiropractic is based on these few simple concepts:- Our body is self-healing and self-regulating
- Our Central Nervous System co-ordinates every cell, muscle and organ in our body
- Interference to our Central Nervous System disrupts our body’s ability to run itself effectively. This is usually caused by a locked up joint and tight surrounding muscles. This is called Subluxation.
- Chiropractors correct subluxation by applying a gently, precise adjustment to the spine, thereby restoring communication between the brain and the body.

We are very sensitive to your concerns and what to help you get better as gently and as fast as possible.The doctor will take ample time to go over your concerns, answer all of your questions and make the best recommendations to get you better. Treatment will often begin on your first visit.
The first visit will typically last 45-60 minutes and subsequent visits are much shorter, usually 7-10 minutes.
The First Visit Consists of:
- Paperwork – customary intake information.You can save time by downloading our Confidential Intake Form and completing it before you come in.
- Consultation – The Doctor will review your paperwork and discuss your history in detail.
- Physical Exam – The Doctor will then do a detailed chiropractic, orthopedic and neurological exam.

- Treatment – Often treatment will begin on your first day. Treatment options will vary based on your unique needs. The focus of chiropractic care is the Adjustment. An Adjustment can be performed in many ways ranging from gentle, traditional hands-on treatment to several other gentle hands or instrument-assisted techniques. The choice is always yours. The Doctor may also recommend other therapies to speed your recovery. The Doctor will then give you “homework” like nutrition or exercises, to help support your healing.
We take joy in your great health.
