CHIROPRACTIC
Aches and pains are signs that your body isn't working properly. Your brain, spinal cord and all your nerves control how your body works. Physical, chemical or emotional stresses produce a defensive posture. Muscles contract, locking spinal joints that pinch or irritate nearby nerves. Lack of nervous system integrity sets the stage for disease and ill health. A thorough eaxamination helps chiropractors find subluxations. Applying a precise force to stuck spinal joints helps the body right itself. Health usually returns as repeated visits restore nervous system integrity. That's why chiropractic care has helped millions get well and stay well.
what are subluxations?
A subluxation is the result of spinal bones with improper motion or position affecting nerve communications between your brain and body. A subluxation is a stress response. Muscles go into spasm. Spinal bones lock up and adjacent nerves are choked or chafed. This interferes with the control and regulation of your body. This affects the communication between the brain and the parts of your body. Distorted nerve communications can be a underlying cause of many health problems beyond just headaches and back pain. Your nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. These nerve impulses travel through your spine. So having a spine free of vertebral subluxation is essential for optimal health. Only a chiropractic examination can detect subluxations and only chiropractic adjustments can reduce their effect to your nervous system, naturally. Find out if you have subluxations before they become more serious and more difficult to correct.
CHIROPRACTIC FOR CHILDREN
Why would a child have a spine and nervous system problem?
Traumatic births. Learning to walk. Slips. Falls. The list is endless. Yet, because children have such an adaptive capacity, these problems are often brushed off as "growing pains' or just a "phase they're going through."
"As the twig is bent, so grows the tree."
Some evidence suggests that chiropractic care may be helpful for colic, ear infections, erratic sleeping habits, bedwetting, scoliosis, "growing pains" and many other common childhood health complaints.
The concern that many parents have is that chiropractic adjustments will be too forceful. They mistakenly thisnk that their child will receive adjustments like ones they receive. Not only are adjusting techniques modified for each person's size and unique spinal problem, an infant's spine rarely has the long-standing muscle tightness seen in adults. This makes a child's chiropractic adjustments gentle. Knowing exactly where to adjust , newborns and infants are adjusted with no more pressure that you'd use to teest the ripeness of a tomato. Many parents have commented that they see almost instant improvements in the well-being of their child.

MEDICAL DOCTORS vs. CHIROPRACTORS
Your notion of a "real" doctor probably conforms to a prototype generated by the mass media. Many have come to think of a doctor as someone who prescribes advice and drugs or performs surgery. Sporting a white lab coat or surgical scrubs with a stethoscope at the neck, doctors are seen as all-knowing, omnipotent and able to save patients in 60 minutes, less commercials.
A Medical Doctor (MD) and a Doctor of Chiropractor (DC) while different, have both received a degree from a government accredited medical school and are licensed to practice.
Have you ever wondered how much education your Doctor of Chiropractic receives compared to a Medical Doctor? Each has its own specialties, but many people are surprised to learn that the hours of classroom instruction are about the same. Doctors of Chiropractic must satisfy a demanding academic course that leads to a professional degree requiring seven years of academic study - three years preparatory and four years professional. Chiropractors must also meet strict educational requirements, including approximately 600 hours of internship, which makes them eligible for licensure in all state and Canadian Provinces. Most states require that Chiropractors pass thorough comprehensive national board examinations as a prerequisite for licensure, and must stay abreast of the latest health care techniques by attendingseminars and other special study programs. If you want to maintain your good health or you are in need of relief from any of a wide range of ailments, pain, or suffering, don't overlook the Doctor of Chiropractic.

Chiropractic health care is a branch of the healing arts which is based on the scientific principle that our nervous system controls or influences the function of all 11 trillion interconnected cells in the body.
The term " Chiropractic " comes from the Greek word " cheiro and praktikos " meaning " done by hand "
CONSULTATION
A thorough evaluation of the onset and the history of your condition will be performed by our doctor and staff.
EXAMINATION
Our doctor will perform a series of pain free neurological, orthopedic, and range of motion studies to properly assess your condition. X-rays and other testing may be performed if needed.
report of findings
Our doctor will discuss the findings with you and your condition will be explained. You will learn it's cause and your treatment options.
TREATMENT
Your treatment will be customized to meet your individual needs. The majority of our patients recieve a combination of chiropractic manipulations which reduce the subluxation. This results in increased range of motion, reduced nerve irritation and improved function.
x-rays
Both visible light and X-rays consist of photon particles conveyed over electromagnetic energy. When carefully controlled, this energy can be used to reveal the internal structure of the body.
X-rays help us provide a structural record of your spine, locate fractures or other signs of trauma, identify evidence of long term spinal decay, confirm other examination findings, and help rule out cancer, disease or other pathologies.
