What is chiropractic?
A simple definition: Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system.

Chiropractors focus on the correction of the skeletal and neurological systems of the human body resulting in proper function, elimination of pain and improved health.

Unlike drugs or surgery, which focus on symptoms, Chiropractic addresses the underlying causes that have reduced the body to a weakened, pained state.  Once these problems have been identified and corrected, pain is eliminated, but more importantly, the body works properly. The most common problems that respond to care are low back pain, (including herniated discs), neck pain, sciatica and headaches.

The more important but lesser know aspect of chiropractic care is the profound affect upon the nervous system and in turn the total health of the human body.  Patients have reported improved health with respect to migraines, digestive problems, sleep issues, anxiety, energy levels, asthma, allergies, reproductive concerns and more.
