Chiropractic 

Chiropractic care is a hands-on approach to providing pain relief. The underlying theory of chiropractic care is that the optimal alignment of the spine makes it easier for the body to heal without the use of medication or surgery. Chiropractic manipulation restores mobility to the joints that are restricted by an injury to tissue spurred by repetitive stress, falling or improper sitting. The chiropractor starts by performing a physical exam and taking your medical history. Lab tests might also be used along with diagnostic imaging. The chiropractor then identifies areas that lack motion. The joints are corrected and the area in question is restored with the application of quick but brief thrusts.

Chiropractic care decreases the disruption of the nervous system and improves the spine’s mobility, ultimately reducing pain in the back and improving overarching body functionality. Chiropractic care relieves pain from the muscles, bones, joints and connective tissues including the tendons, ligaments and cartilage.
