About Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts which is concerned with human health and disease. This drugless profession places special emphasis upon the spine and its inter-relationships with the nervous system.

The practice of chiropractic is distinctive due to the emphasis on the reduction (re-alignment) of spinal or pelvic rearrangements (subluxations). This is achieved by specific spinal manipulations (adjustments), the purpose of which is to normalize the relationship of the vertebrae within its “normal” functioning framework. This procedure is administered with much skill and dexterity after a careful examination is made and the area of involvement determined.

Other considerations of health such as exercise, rest, diet, nutrition, food supplements, etc. will be discussed on an individual case basis.

How long will I take to get well?

This is a commonly heard question in any chiropractic office. There is really no definite answer to that question.

However, we have treated numerous other cases of a similar nature and will be able to give you an approximate estimate based on our knowledge and many years of clinical experience.

In most instances, your concept of “being well” is one that deserves some serious objective consideration. To a majority of people, “being well” means to be free from the symptoms that initially brought you to this office.

We have found that it is not uncommon for people to present themselves to our office after having spent weeks, even months or years in pain while doctoring with drugs and other types of palliative therapies. When this approach proved to be ineffective, they sought chiropractic care as a last resort, usually on the recommendation of a friend.

A typical visit to this office will include an initial case history, physical examination and other standard procedures, a chiropractic examination of the spine and related structures.

This special attention to the neuromuscular aspect of your health ailment, coupled with a sound understanding of the basic concept of structure and function is a necessary ingredient for health maintenance; we will outline a program for you to follow once you are asymptomatic.
