What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a scientific profession that examines the body as a whole, specifically focusing on the nervous system, skeletal system, and muscular system. When the spine becomes out of alignment it can cause an interference to the nervous system and pressure on nerves and blood vessels, thus decreasing functionality and causing pain in various body parts. Likewise, when our muscles are tensed or imbalanced it can also cause a disruption in our nerves, skeletal asymmetry, decreased range of motion, and muscle weaknesses. Mostly all bone structures in the body form joints. Overtime, with repetitive movements, improper posture, stresses on the body, and personal injuries, our bodies can become subluxated.
What is a subluxation? A subluxation is when a vertebrae is misaligned and has moved out of its normal place. The objective of chiropractic care is to realign the vertebrae back into place so that all systems of the body can work efficiently and the body can function at its highest level. We help to facilitate healing by removing the interference and thus allowing the body to heal above down and inside out.

Chiropractic Adjustment
A chiropractic adjustment is a non-invasive, specific and scientific manipulation that will help reduce misalignments in the spine and joints in the body, increase range of motion, improve flexibility and reduce nerve irritability. We address underlying conditions of what's causing neck pain, back pain, wrist pain or even chronic headaches, to name a few. Each adjustment doesn't just realign our spine and joints, but it creates space for your nervous system to function at its best.
Injured in an auto-accident?
Let us help you recover faster and stronger! One of the most important steps you can take after an accident is visiting your chiropractor for complete evaluation. We've treated hundreds of patients involved in motor vehicle accidents and slips and falls. Auto-accidents are very common and happen daily. An impact from an accident can cause major and minor damage to the spine and joints. Please if you or any family member have been involved in an accident, please call the office and seek medical attention. Chiropractic care can be an important part of recovery after an accident. We treat the whole body. Without proper treatment, an acute injury can lead to long- term damage and pain.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrotherapy or EMS, is a treatment option that helps stimulate injured muscles or manipulate nerves to reduce pain. This painless procedure improves recovery and provides relief of pain. It involves electrical pulses to contract muscles. This improves blood flow and helps repair injured muscles.
Prenatal (Pregnancy)Chiropractic Adjustments
Do pregnant mamas get the same type of adjustment as other patients? Nope! Our health care provider is a Webster Certified Doctor. This technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that aims to reduce interference to the nervous system and balance the pregnant body. Having a balanced pelvis is ideal for your baby's position and mom. The goal is to improve function of the pelvic muscles and ligaments. When these structures are out of alignment, pregnant women experience low back pain, sciatica, lower abdominal pain, pubic symphysis pain and hip pain. Women who receive chiropractic care throughout pregnancy report decreased labor time, better pain management and less necessary birth interventions.
Pediatric Adjustments
Childhood is a time of exploration and busy activities. These adventures can sometimes lead to falls, slips and a few bumps on the head. This can put a strain on your child's developing spine and affect their nervous system. There are many benefits of treating children and infants with chiropractic care. Some of the benefits are improved immune systems, relief from colic symptoms, improved respiratory function, better ear drainage, help with gait and running, improved sleep patterns and supports digestive health.
