Chiropractic is natural drug free healthcare system that treats the causes of physical problems rather than just the symptoms. Modern chiropractic practices have been around since 1895 and each year millions of people are benefiting from this drug free approach. A Chiropractor has at least 6 years of healthcare training before obtaining a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree.

Most patients seeking chiropractic care have symptoms of subluxation such as back and neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and fatigue. These can usually be traced back to a lack of your body's recovery from physical, chemical, or emotional stress.

Tension, or interference in the nervous system is called subluxation. Subluxation occurs when spinal joints do not move properly which places pressure on the spine and nerves. This can happen due to improper use or over use of your spine as well as injuries and, even, improper posture.

Spinal adjustments are gentle presses on the joints in your spine to restore alignment and to improve the range of movement in your spine, and relieve irritated nerves.

After your initial chiropractic treatment it is important to continue returning so that you body has the chance to heal. Just as you need other medical exams, dental exams, eye exams, etcetera it is important to have regular spinal checkups by your Chiropractor to manage and prevent future subluxation.
