What is Chiropractic?
A Natural, non-invasive approach to health care
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism, controlled by the brain, spinal cord, and nerves of the body. The vertebrae, which protect the nervous system, when misaligned or lose their normal motion, causes malfunction of the tissues and organs throughout the body.
Chiropractic medicine is a form of natural health care that focuses on treating a patient without the use of drugs or surgery. Doctors of Chiropractic, more commonly known as Chiropractors, are primary health care providers licensed in all 50 states, and are recognized by governmental health care programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Workers Compensation programs and all Health Insurance Companies. Every year, more than 30 million Americans see Chiropractors as part of their regular health care, and with over 84,000 licensed Chiropractors nationwide and more than 10,000 students currently enrolled in Chiropractic colleges, it is one of the fastest growing health care professions.
Chiropractors frequently treat individuals with problems, such as: headaches, joint pain, neck pain, low back pain and sciatica. Chiropractors also treat patients with osteoarthritis, spinal disc conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, sprains, and strains. However, the scope of conditions that Chiropractors manage or provide care for, is not limited to the common pains and problems listed above. Chiropractors also have the training to help with relieving a variety of conditions, such as allergies and digestive disorders, with sound lifestyle and natural nutritional counseling.
