Treatments
 Chiropractic
has provided effective relief to millions of individuals suffering
from back and neck ailments. Chiropractic has also provided
relief from many other musculoskeletal complaints ranging
from knee and ankle problems to carpal tunnel syndrome and
tennis elbow. In fact, musculoskeletal pain or discomfort
in any area of the spine or extremity is a candidate for safe,
natural, noninvasive chiropractic care. If a condition exists
which is better suited for treatment by a medical specialist,
chiropractors are fully
trained to identify such conditions and make the appropriate
referral. However, most patients suffering from musculoskeletal
complaints can and are successfully treated with chiropractic
every single day.
Common musculoskeletal conditions treated:
- low back pain
- neck pain and whiplash
injury
- sciatica and disc herniation
- headaches and migraines
- work, auto,
and sport injuries
- sprains and strains
- arthritis
- carpal tunnel syndrome
Common Injuries Treated
Chiropractors commonly treat all types of injuries and recognize
the unique findings associated with each. For example, it's
important to understand that auto injuries often involve a
delayed onset of symptoms which commonly surface weeks and
even months post-accident. In work injuries, chiropractors
routinely look beyond the actual injury and address such things
as work station setup, ergonomically correct equipment, and
proper work techniques. For sports injuries, chiropractors
often check for biomechanical and muscle imbalances as a routine
part of the treatment plan. Treating the whole person and
optimizing health is what chiropractic is all about.

What is Naprapathy?
Naprapathic treatment utilizes specialized soft tissue techniques
to restore resiliency to abnormally tensed muscles, their
fascia and shortened connective tissues. When these tissues
become tensed, chronic pain may ensue and normal body functions
can become impaired. It is essential to address this soft
tissue component to balance and stabilize joint surface relationships,
thereby enhancing the effectiveness of manipulative therapy.
Non-Musculoskeletal Conditions Treated
In addition to musculoskeletal problems, chiropractic treatments
have also been shown to benefit many individuals suffering
from "medical" ailments such as chronic ear infections
in children, menstrual pain and irregularities in women, and
arthritis in the elderly. Although chiropractic care is not
a specific form of treatment for such conditions, research
has shown that many "medical" conditions can be
caused or aggravated by irritation to spinal nerve roots which
share an intimate relationship with the spinal structures.
By restoring proper nerve functioning by normalizing spinal
structure and function, we believe some individuals suffering
from these "medical" ailments can obtain partial
and in some cases, full relief.
