What exactly is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts based upon
the understanding that good health depends upon a normally
functioning nervous system.
"Chiropractic" comes from the Greek word chiropraktikos,
meaning "effective treatment by hand." Chiropractic stresses
the idea that the cause of many disease processes begins
with the body's inability to adapt to its environment.
It looks to address these diseases not by the use of drugs
and chemicals, but by locating and adjusting the musculo-skeletal
area of the body, to see which areas are functioning improperly.
What kind of chiropractic care do you provide?
We use the Activator
and Torque Release system, which is gentle, non-force
chiropractic care.
Does it hurt?
Under normal circumstances, adjustments don't hurt at
all. The patient ocassonally may experience a minor amount
of discomfort during the adjustment, but this lasts only
seconds.
Is it safe?
Chiropractic adjustments are extremely safe. The risk
factor is estimated to be in excess of one million to
one.
What kind
of education and training do doctors of chiropractic
receive?
|
Chiropractors receive
an education that emphasizes neuromuscular diagnosis
and treatment. Preparation for the practice of
chiropractic is concentrated on three areas of
learning; basic training in the biological and
health sciences (anatomy, physiology, histology,
biochemistry, clinical and radiological diagnosis);
specialized training in the chiropractic discipline
(theoretical studies, practice, diagnosis and
applications); and extensive clinical training.

What conditions benefit from chiropractic care?
Although chiropractic is used most frequently to relieve
low back pain, studies have found it to be effective for
a variety of conditions, such as migraine headaches, neck
and shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia,
and infantile colic.
Have any studies been published showing what conditions
chiropractic care benefits?
Several studies have documented the effectiveness of chiropractic
in relieving back pain. More recent studies have shown
chiropractic to be effective in treating infantile colic
and migraine headaches.
