Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a natural health care profession focused on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. It uses many different modes of treatment from manual adjustmentsand/or manipulation of the spine to more gentle mobilization techniques. In our clinic we use a variety of chiropractic techniques including: Applied Kinesiology (AK), Activator Methods, Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT), Diversified, NeuroImpulse Protocol and Gonstead.

 

Most chiropractors seek to reduce pain and improve the functionality of patients as well as to educate them on how they can account for their own health via exercise, ergonomics and other therapies to treat back pain.

 

Chiropractic is generally categorized as a complementary medicine.

Chiropractors: Fundamental Beliefs and Goals

Chiropractors focus on the intimate relationship between the nervous system and spine, and hold true the following beliefs: 

  • Biomechanical and structural derangement of the spine can affect the nervous system.
  • For many conditions, chiropractic treatment can restore the structural integrity of the spine, reduce pressure on the sensitive neurological tissue, and consequently improve the health of the individual.
