Chiropractic

Chiropractic was established as a healing modality in 1895 by D.D. Palmer. Over 700 different chiropractic techniques exist and every chiropractor uses their own special blend of skills and tools to help balance the nervous systems of their patients. In addition to the manual adjustments to the musculoskeletal system, chiropractic practice has included exercise, posture correction, hot/cold treatments, massage, hygiene and nutrition since the early 1900s. Chiropractic is not part of the medical healthcare system. Chiropractors, like dentists and podiatrists, are considered “portal of entry providers”; meaning they provide a specialized health service without the need of a referral from another provider. Patients seek chiropractic care for conditions such as neck & back pain, sciatica, headaches, scoliosis, carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, sprain/strain injuries, whiplash injuries, slip-and-fall injuries, frozen shoulder, TMJ pain, arthritis and poor posture. Chiropractic offers more than just rehabilitation from injury, with management and wellness options to keep patients healthy throughout their many stages of life.
