    What is Chiropractic care based on?

Most people think of a chiropractor for just back pain but it is so much more ...

Chiropractic is scientifically based on the fact that the human body is able to self-regulate, self-heal. These important functions are controlled by the nervous system which is made up of the brain, spinal chord and all the nerves of the body.

The vulnerable tissues of the nervous system are protected by the hard bones of the skeleton.    The solid skull protects the brain.   The mobile bones of the spine protect the delicate communication pathways of the spinal chord and nerves as they exit the spinal chord.   If the nervous system is impaired it can cause pain, discomfort or malfunction of the organs and tissues throughout the body.

Chiropractic is the science of locating areas of nervous system compromise, adjusting the specific areas to reduce the impact to the nervous system thus helping to restore the body's ability to heal itself .   THERE ARE NO DRUGS INVOLVED AND NO SURGERY.

Depending on the healing ability of the patient, results can vary from a few short days or weeks to some months.   Some patients feel better at the end of a treatment.  However, it is imperative that whatever the improvement it must be consolidated by follow up treatments as each treatment builds on the last.

Straightening spines is similar to straightening teeth - both take time & repeated treatments.

Either may cause some discomfort
