Chiropractic is the branch of health care concerned with diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries and disorders of the nerves, muscles and bones.
It addresses pain and dysfunction with a non-pharmaceutical, hands-on approach.
The philosophy of Chiropractic makes use of the body's innate ability to heal itself with appropriate support.
It emphasizes the relationship between structure and function, primarily of the spine and nervous system.
Chiropractic care has been around since 1895 and has proven itself very safe and effective.

The term "whiplash" was coined in 1928 to define an injury mechanism of sudden hyperextension followed by an immediate hyperflexion of the neck that results in damage to the muscles, ligaments, and tendons that support the head and neck.
While the term continues to be used, the severity and frequency of the whiplash injury have both increased, due to the increase in number of vehicles on the roads and the many distractions that a driver encounters.
Whiplash is complicated!
Unlike a broken bone, where an x-ray can validate the fracture, and there are specific standards of care and a predictable timeline for healing, whiplash injuries involve a complicated and unpredictable combination of muscle, joint, connective tissue, and nervous system disruptions that is not easy to diagnose and often challenging to treat.

When you think of chiropractic care you probably think of treatment for back or neck pain.
However the principles of Chiropractic apply to other joints as well.
We work with injuries and imbalances affecting many non-spinal areas.
Overuse injuries of the elbows, like tennis elbow, and of the shoulders, like impingement syndrome, typically respond well to our methods of treatment.
Chiropractic can also be helpful for problems with hips, knees, feet and TMJ.
We perform gentle manipulations on targeted joints to improve alignment and range of motion.

There are many reasons for headaches.
They can be caused by dehydration, blood sugar fluctuations, sinus problems, food allergies, nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances.
But one common and very treatable cause of headaches is irritation of the joints and muscles of the neck and shoulders.
This type of headache is called a muscle tension headache.
Muscle tension headaches can result from injury to the neck, such as a whiplash from an automobile accident, even if the injury was long ago.

There is no doubt about it the world's population is aging.
In the United States, an estimated 4.2 million residents now fall into the age group of the "oldest old", 85 years and older; and centenarians, those older than 100, are the fastest growing subgroup of the elderly population.
At the same time, we are experiencing an epidemic of chronic "lifestyle diseases" such as diabetes and heart disease.
One third of the elderly will experience a fall this year, and 42% of people over 65 have some limitation in function.
