More people today are interested in achieving a level of health beyond
symptom management and prevention of disease. Wellness is the concept
of being at one's best mentally, physically and emotionally. This is the goal
of many health-oriented people as they strive to enhance their performance
in daily activities and get the most out of life.
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring and maintaining the health of your
joints, muscles and nerves through the use of an adjustment. A spinal
adjustment can restore normal movement, relieve pain and stimulate
higher function of your brain and nervous system resulting in a renewed
sense of vitality.

Chiropractic Overview
Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that is centered on the role of the
spine and central nervous system in maintaining good health, and
leveraging the recuperative power of the body to heal itself naturally and
efficiently. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship
between structure (of the spine) and function (as coordinated by the
nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and
restoration of health.
Chiropractors identify and correct the cause of health challenges which
arise when misalignments of the vertebrae (the small bones that make
up the spine) disrupt neurological communications between your brain
and the cells, tissues, and organs of the body.
Chiropractors correct these misalignments by gently adjusting the
position of the vertebrae of the spine, reducing or eliminating neuropathy
(changes in the pathology of the nerves) thus allowing your body to
properly self-regulate, adapt and heal.
