Chiropractic

A whole person and holistic patient approach.

Each person is evaluated with consideration given to their unique body and life. Many things influence care, including; how injuries happen, the state of one’s past and current physical health, stress level, lifestyle practices, nutrition, medications, sleep, health goals and more.

Finding and treating the root cause is as important as treating symptoms. People are complicated and often a step by step approach is required to restore health.

We believe having a chiropractic physician on your health care team is as important as having other health practitioners. Chiropractic is a specialized natural medicine for the spine, extremities and other articular joints and it has profound connections and influence on the nervous system.

Chiropractic care is comprehensive and includes relief for things like headaches, TMJD (jaw dysfunction), whiplash, disc herniations, numbness and tingling of arms and legs, osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, plantar fascitis, tennis elbow, and more.

Who we treat.

We treat all patients of all ages because everyone has a spine and they are all subject to aging and injury.

We adjust spines and extremities to improve mobility and flexibility. Anyone with a new injury, history of significant injuries, poor posture, poor conditioning or repetitive motion habits is a good candidate for chiropractic care.

Spinal hygiene is much like dental hygiene. Exercise and stretching for the spine is likened to brushing and flossing the teeth for daily benefits and long-term prevention. It’s important to get regular checkups to detect potential problems before they become big problems. The sooner treatment is initiated, and problems are corrected the less invasive and expensive treatment will be. Trying to improve things once damage has occurred is often irreversible. Teeth can be replaced, spines cannot. Regular spinal care is recommended. It’s never too late to get started or checked.

Patient’s individual needs are important and sometimes you need a doctor who will talk to you honestly. Conversations about posture, exercise, diet, medical conditions, digestive disorders, food allergies, smoking and more can make treatment go smoother and last longer. 

 You want a doctor who understands your urgency to get well. Your health goals matter.

Chiropractic is specific for relief of painful conditions and it gives supportive care for generalized back pain, pregnancy, sports enhancement and graceful aging.

What to expect at your first appointment.

  • A thorough history and examination will be conducted at your first appointment or for any new injury or flare up. Information needs to be communicated and considered to determine if treatment can be initiated or if further diagnostic tests like x-rays, MRI or blood work are necessary.

    Some people are good candidates for traditional chiropractic manipulation and treatment, other people need a more comprehensive care plan. The intensity of the problem and complexity of the individual will determine the best care for your condition.

  • Treatment may be straightforward or complex. Your goals and circumstances will be considered before proceeding with treatment. Often factors like age, arthritis, diet, exercise, smoking, medications, and even attitude can make improvements go quicker or slower. Addressing these lifestyle factors are part of the overall treatment plan and goals for outcomes of care.

  • Your role in healing matters.

    Our bodies are the cumulative expression of our genetics, the life we currently live, the life we have lived and our influences internally and externally.

    As a product of our environment, we can greatly influence our recovery by improving and stabilizing our environment physically, emotionally, and chemically.

    In order for tissues to heal they need resources and support. The body may need adjustments, soft tissue work, rest, rehabilitative exercises, stress relief, good nutrition and more.

    Chiropractic care is a corrective process just as maintaining good health is the sum total of many healthy choices and behaviors.
