Services
People often seek Chiropractic care for relief from injury, stress, or chronic pain.
Chiropractic treats the underlying causes of these problems, rather than simply treating and temporarily relieving the symptoms.
The objective of the Chiropractic adjustment is to reduce the subluxation, which results in an increased range of motion, decreased nerve irritability, reduced muscle spasm, decreased pain and improved function.
The adjustment is a quick thrust applied to a vertebrae for the purpose of restoring proper mechanical function and range of motion.

There are many causes for neck pain.
Injuries, such as car accidents for falls the obvious examples.
However, most people with neck pain can't identify a specific injury.
Just like it was not the last mile that you drove that caused your car to need repair, the accumulation of stresses from many sources can result in chronic, sometimes debilitating, neck pain.
Acute (short term) and chronic (long term) mechanical neck pain can be effectively treated once the cause(s) is/are identified and the appropriate measures are implemented.

Walking upright on two feet has advantages, but it also puts intense pressure on the spine, as well as on other muscles and bones.
Add to this improper sitting, lifting, or reaching-and the normal wear and tear of working and playing-and you have the perfect recipe for back pain.
That's why back pain is the 2nd most common reason for visits to the doctor's office, outnumbered only by upper-respiratory infections.
In fact, some experts say, as many as 80% of us will experience a back problem at some time in out lives.

The real shame about arthritis is the terrible loss in quality of life as a result of arthritis pain (inability to hold our grandchildren, to dance with our favorite partner, to enjoy attending a sporting event, and a hundred other "minor disabilities") is accepted by the victim as a" natural consequence of aging".
While gravity does eventually "win", most of the factors that drag us slowly down can be prevented!
We all know 80 year olds living large, and 65-year olds who may as well be 85.
Unfortunately, the uninformed victim of arthritis is told to take their pills and "slow down".
