Chiropractic is a health care specialty that focuses on misalignments, (subluxations) to the spinal joints, (and extremities) that can cause stress and interference in the nervous system as well as the musculoskeletal system. By locating and detecting the misaligned and restricted spinal joints, the Chiropractor can adjust these joints by hand or instrument to improve the joint range of motion and restore the proper alignment.
If left untreated, spinal joints that are restricted and/or out of balance, can wear down and cause more serious health concerns later on, (degenerative joint/disc disease, inflammation, muscle spasm. A spine that is out of alignment is at greater risk of overall health concerns as our body uses a significant amount of energy to hold upright posture.
Who can benefit from Chiropractic care? Everyone can benefit from Chiropractic care. We see young children to people in their 80’s and 90’s and everyone in between. Whether it is for a new health concern or something that has been going on for years. We also see many people for periodic check-ups once their main complaints have resolved, so that they stay well. It is much easier to stay healthy than it is to try to regain your health.
