Doctor of Chiropractic

Chiropractors diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body’s muscular, nervous and skeletal systems, especially the spine. Chiropractors believe interference with these systems impairs normal functions and lowers the resistance to disease. Spinal or vertebral dysfunction alters many important body functions by affecting the nervous system (which runs and controls the whole body), and that skeletal imbalance through joint or articulator dysfunction, especially in the spine, can cause pain.

The approach Chiropractors use for health care is holistic, stressing the overall well-being of the patient. This requires many factors that affect health, including exercise, diet, rest, nutrition, environment and heredity. When appropriate, consultation and referral to other health practitioners, blood test and x-rays are used to insure that everything possible is being done to insure the patients sense of well-being.

We specialize in non-force and force manipulations, physical therapy, nutrition, and internal disorders. Like other health care practitioners, our office follows a standard routine to secure the information needed for diagnosis and treatment. We take a medical history, conduct a physical, neurological and orthopedic examination as well as the use of other lab tests when indicated.
