Why Choose Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractors have undergone rigorous education and clinical practice like other medical professionals. In addition, they are required to pass a Board exam for licensure and earn continuing education credits to maintain their credentials. However, the profession differs from traditional medicine in that students are trained to use a natural approach to healing the body. While other professionals tend to use surgical and medicinal methods to treat disease and injuries, the goal of chiropractic care is to support the body’s natural ability to heal itself through conservative and non-invasive procedures.
With chiropractic care, the treatment approach focuses not only on treating the symptoms but also on treating the entire body through manipulations of the spine that are done either manually or through a device. Steady thrusts, gentle pressure, or stretching are applied to correct a misalignment in the vertebrae to relieve pain and restore mobility of the joints. Chiropractors mostly treat lower back pain, neck pain, and headaches. However, they also treat joint pain in other bodily areas such as arms and legs.
In addition to manual adjustments, chiropractic doctors use other methods to relieve pain and promote wellness.

• Massage
• Electrical stimulation
• Rehab and exercise
