Chiropractic Care
What is it?
Chiropractors are primary health care providers who are trained to evaluate, diagnose, and treat conditions of the spine, muscles, joints, and nervous system. Chiropractic care provides pain relief with the use of hands on, non-invasive and drug-free therapy. The goal of chiropractic care is to improve joint function and mobility, reduce pain, and improve muscle strength resulting in improved quality of life and improved body performance.
What is an adjustment?
To perform an adjustment, your chiropractor will use their hands to apply controlled force to your joint and guide it through a range of motion. This action restores your joint’s natural movement and improves its function and alleviates pain and tension.
