Chiropractic Medicine

Chiropractic care is a drug-free, non-invasive, manual therapy that addresses mechanical dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system. Dysfunction, sometimes called subluxation, in the spine or extremities can develop from trauma, repetitive stress, postural strain, genetic factors, or everyday environmental stressors.

Our chiropractors use gentle spinal adjustments, also known as spinal manipulation, to reduce acute and chronic pain and restore proper joint and biomechanical function. Neck and back pain are the most common reasons patients seek chiropractic treatment, but these techniques can also help with headaches, extremity problems, and a range of other concerns, safely and effectively.

What to expect during your visit

Your first appointment begins with a complete health history and physical examination. In some cases, we may recommend X-rays or other diagnostic tests to pinpoint the source of your pain or dysfunction.

Once we've identified a diagnosis and treatment plan, you'll typically rest on a specially padded table while your chiropractor uses their hands to gently adjust the joints that need attention. Manipulation is safe and effective, and most patients feel relief from tension, discomfort, and pain soon after their joints are adjusted.

To support your recovery, your chiropractor may also use soft tissue work, stretching, electrical stimulation, and heat or ice packs. Many patients receive recommendations for exercise and healthy lifestyle changes as part of a complete care plan designed around their unique needs and goals.

How chiropractic care complements your medical treatment

Chiropractic care works well alongside traditional medical treatment. If you're being treated for another condition or disease, chiropractic care can support your existing therapy and help you reach the best possible outcomes. We collaborate with your broader care team so every part of your treatment works together.

• Neck pain
• Back pain, both acute and chronic
