• Chiropractors are medical professionals who diagnose and treat disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous system.
• Interference with these systems may impair normal functions and lower the resistance to disease.
• Chiropractic philosophy holds that dysfunction in the spine alters many important functions by affecting the nervous system and that skeletal imbalance through joint dysfunction, especially in the spine, can cause pain.
• Chiropractors believe one of the main causes of pain and disease is the misalignment of the vertebrae in the spinal column (this is called a chiropractic subluxation).
• Through the use of manual detection (or palpation), carefully applied pressure, massage ad manual manipulation of the vertebrae and joints (called adjustments), chiropractors are able to relieve pressure and irritation on the nerves, restore joint mobility, and help return the body to a healthier state.
• The chiropractic approach to healthcare is holistic, stressing the patient's overall well-being.
• It recognizes that many factors affect health, including exercise, diet, rest, environment, stress and heredity.
• The word chiropractic comes from the Greek words meaning "treatment by hand" which is exactly what chiropractors do.
• They use their hands to manipulate the body to promote healing and wellness.
• For over eight years I've been offering quality health care utilizing chiropractic manipulations, soft tissue techniques, physical therapy modalities and acupuncture.
• Chiropractic and acupuncture are powerful tools for natural healing without the dangerous side effects associated with drugs and surgery.
• I specializes in the treatment of low back and neck pain, headaches, carpal tunnel, sports injuries, auto accidents, work related injuries and personal injuries.
• Success lies within treating the whole patient and not only the condition.
