It’s a scientific fact that your brain, spinal cord and the rest of your nerves control every aspect of your body. Hinder the vital nerve links between your brain and your body, and ill health can result. The common source of interference comes from the fixation of bones in the spine. By bones becoming fixated, nerve pressure occurs, which can cause numbness, tingling, weakness or the under-performance of organs and tissues. Or, spinal misalignment can cause nerve tissue to stretch, chafe or become irritated. This can distort nerve messages between your body and your brain.
Through Chiropractic, our focus is caring for the integrity of your nervous system. A thorough examination helps locate areas of nervous system compromise. The moving of bones of the spine are common culprits. Then, specific chiropractic adjustments help reduce these interferences. The intent is to restore your body’s ability to regulate and heal itself. Without drugs. Without surgery.
Chiropractic is simple. It’s natural. It honors the wisdom of the body. And it has helped millions enjoy relief and better health for more than a century.

You’ll meet the Doctor after filling out some brief paperwork describing you, your health history and your health goals. We offer this initial consultation so we can both get to know one another. If you’re a good candidate for chiropractic care and we think we can help, an examination follows. We’ll study the way you turn and bend. We’ll provide a chiropractic examination, orthopedic examination, and a series of radiology films. By performing the variety of exams and x-rays, we can locate areas of your spine that could be the cause of the problem. Our examination is thorough and will put you at ease.

We’ll study the results and give you a complete report of findings. We’ll show you what we found and the conclusions we’ve reached. If we find that you would benefit from consulting a different practitioner, we’ll make the proper referral. Otherwise, we’ll recommend a program of specific chiropractic adjustments.

With a plan in place to fulfill your health goals, future visits will take just minutes. The purpose of these frequent visits will be to locate and reduce your vertebral subluxations and monitor the healing process.

You join millions who have enjoyed better health- without drugs or surgery.

Chiropractic care has been helping families for years. Many patients see their chiropractic doctor as their family doctor. That’s smart. The cost of surgery is rising. The adverse reaction to drugs receive front-page news. Families want safe and natural solutions. More and more are choosing chiropractic care first. Family care can start from the very beginning. Babies can benefit when their pregnant mothers receive chiropractic care. During this period of weight gain and hormonal changes, many mothers seek chiropractic care. They often report easier births. Newborns, infants and children can benefit, too. The birth process may be the cause of our first subluxation! Then, learning to walk, ride a bike or play sports can produce so-called growing pains. Ignored, these problems may worsen until they can become more difficult to correct as an adult. Car accidents, work injuries and the stress and strains of our busy lives can produce subluxations. Periodic chiropractic checkups can be helpful. Many patients report more energy, vitality and better overall health. Seniors enjoying an active retirement stop by our office, too. Safe and natural chiropractic care makes sense. They see how the structure of the spine can affect the nervous system and how their body works. Regardless of your age or condition, a better working spine is good for your health. Share your chiropractic experience with others by starting with those you love.

Should your children have a chiropractic check-up?

As a concerned parent, you no doubt wonder if your child is as healthy as possible. Many factors contribute to your child’s overall health. A major component is the communication between your child’s brain and body, a vital link controlling the growth, repair, and function of every tissue and organ in the body. Diet, exercise, rest, and emotional and spiritual support are other important factors. Chiropractic recognizes the importance of each of these factors as they contribute to your child’s health. Newborn infants should be checked within hours after birth. The birth process, even under natural and controlled conditions, is potentially traumatic. During the pushing stage of labor, the spine, particularly the neck, may be injured as the baby is compressed and pushed down the birth canal. The most frequent subluxation experienced by newborns results from the pulling, twisting, and compression of the infant’s spine during birth. Although birth subluxations may cause immediate symptoms, such as respiratory depression, there may be far-reaching effects that are manifested for years. The child’s ability to fight against disease, for example may be lowered. Colds, ear infections, colic, and other illnesses may result. Subluxations may also interfere with internal organ function, resulting in the inability to product chemicals responsible for raising and lowering body temperature as needed. Research has also indicated that the body’s immune response in the production of anti-viral and anti-bacterial agents to fight infection is greatly compromised due to vertebral subluxations.
