Chiropractic Care is care of the body by the manipulation of joints. The misalignment of joints can cause problems in the body such as joint pain and arthritis, muscle pain, and many more ailments.

Understanding Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is a treatment focusing primarily on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal and biomechanical disorders of the spine and other joints of the body. Chiropractic can assist and increase our natural healing process for the spine and joints such as the lower back, shoulder, or neck, and issues in the extremities and headaches.

Who benefits from chiropractic care?

Everyone can benefit from Chiropractic care. Individuals who have stiffness or pain in the neck, spine or joints or injuries from accidents or sports are often great candidates for chiropractic care. Central to chiropractic care is the belief that the spine plays an important role in the overall health of an individual, especially in terms of the nervous system. As a result, chiropractors adjust that central part of the body’s structure through hands-on therapy. Other manipulation may also be used, depending on the location need to be treated.
