CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic is from the Gk Chiropraktikos meaning "effective treatment by hand."
Chiropractic adjustments benefit the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, and have a positive effect on general health.

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal and the nervous systems, and the effects of these disorders on general health.

Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.

While traditional medicine focuses on germs and blood and uses chemicals in the form of drugs to artificially change the way your body works, Chiropractic produces results by optimizing nervous system function and helping it get back to working the way it should. Chiropractic is simple, natural and honors the wisdom of your body. It has helped millions enjoy relief and better health for more than a century.

Just about anyone can get adjusted newborns, infants, children, adults, seniors and even failed back surgery patients can benefit.

Vertebral joints in your spine that are "subluxated" (locked up, not moving properly or misaligned) can affect your health by irritating nearby nerve tissue thus distorting nerve messages between your body and brain.

Car accidents, work injuries, hereditary factors and the stress and strains of our busy lives can produce subluxations. The result can be pain, numbness, weakness, under-performance of organs and tissues or even high blood pressure.

Chiropractic treatment consists of adjustments (specific spinal manipulations) which add motion to these dysfunctional subluxated joints. It helps reduce nerve interference thereby alleviating pain.

Chiropractic restores your body's ability to heal itself - safely, naturally, without use of drugs or surgery.

Your Chiropractor will tailor your treatment to your size, age and unique health problem.

Almost everyone can benefit from Chiropractic care. Regardless of your age or condition, a better working spine and nervous system is good for your health.

Viewed from the front, normal or neutral posture has been defined as level head, shoulders and hips. Viewed from the side, a line should be able to be drawn through your ear, middle shoulder and just in front of ankle.

Your posture is a reflection of the health of the spine. 90% of the population has a posture of the head being in front of the shoulders which puts abnormal pressure on the neck, affects the shoulders, arms and lower back. This affects how the joints of you spine and hips function and causes changes in the muscles.

Studies show that colic, unusual crying, poor appetite, ear infections or erratic sleeping habits of newborns can be signs of spinal distress.

DTS is a non–surgical treatment option approved by the American FDA which effectively treats lower back pain, sciatica resulting from bulging and herniated discs or degenerative disc disease, and may even relieve symptoms in cases of relapsed or failed back surgery.

It creates a negative pressure or vacuum inside the disc causing retraction of the herniation and improves flow of blood and nutrients which allow the body’s natural fibroblastic response to heal and re–hydrate the disc.

Traction and inversion alone lower intradiscal pressure from +90 to +30 mmHg. DTS is clinically proven to reduce intradiscal pressure to between –150 to –200 mmHg.
