Chiropractic
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic Care involves the gentle specific manipulation/adjustment
of joints of the spine and extremities in order to restore
proper motion and function. Central to Chiropractic philosophy
is the concept that maintenance of proper function of the
musculoskeletal and nervous systems can provide for better
health.
Chiropractic adjustments are precise manual procedures applied
to correct joint alignment/mobility, relieve associated muscle
and nerve tension and improve balance. The focus of Chiropractic
care is not on symptoms, rather the cause of the patient's
physical problem is addressed and associated lifestyle factors
(such as posture, excercise, nutrition and others) are modified
to speed recovery and prevent recurrence.
Thus, a holistic approach is embraced by actively promoting
the body's inherent capacity to heal itself naturally, without
the use of drugs or surgery. Numerous research studies document
the benefits, effectiveness and safety of chiropractic care,
through clinically and scientifically established conservative
procedures.
