Chiropractic

Chiropractic is an Anti-Aging LifeHabit to stay active as you age. Unrestricted, full range, pain-free motion is essential for an active and healthy lifestyle!

Chiropractic

Chiropractors are bio-mechanics, or mechanics for the body.

Doctors of chiropractic are licensed healthcare professionals trained to restore normal motion and relieve the pain of neuro-musculo-skeletal (nerve, muscle & joint) problems by freeing locked joints, restoring alignment and balancing body motion and function to reduce mechanical stress. Doctor of Chiropractic

Pain, poor posture and unbalanced motion results in compensation which may temporarily relieve pain but stresses joints, muscles and ligaments.

Over time muscles and joints stiffen resulting in joint breakdown, arthritis, and chronic pain. Even nerve function is lost as we become trained to "Move Old".

Chiropractors relieve the pain of musculo-skeletal (muscle & joint) problems by freeing locked joints, restoring alignment and balancing body motion to reduce mechanical stress.

In addition to treating patients for back and neck pain, many chiropractors promote improving body alignment and motion to relieve irritation of the nervous system. The body is controlled by the nerves, so restoring normal nerve function may actually promote keeping a body functioning better and healthier.

Restoring joint motion with adjustments may be able to reduce America's $75 billion back pain bill

Restoring joint motion with adjustments may be able to reduce America's $75 billion back pain bill
A recent study found chiropractic care economical for treating low back pain when compared to treatment by MD or DO. Research showed the cost of care for an episode of low back pain was nearly 40% less when care was rendered by DCs, and even after adjusting for risk, care initiated with a DC were 20% less expensive than episodes initiated with an MD.

Why do many People feel Lighter after a Chiropractic Adjustment?

Why do I feel lighter after an adjustment?

You feel lighter because you feel more balanced! Posture is how you balance your body. When you are adjusted, joints which have been unable to move in harmony with the rest of the body are mobilized. So you can balance more effectively (bio-mechanically speaking).

Try this: Take a broom, and balance it on end, straight up in the air keeping only one hand on the handle. If you keep it straight, it is easy to balance. If you let the broom lean over to one side, it gets A LOT heavier. Your posture is the same way. If you keep it balanced, it takes less energy to hold yourself up.
