Our plan to help you

Step 1: History and Consult regarding recent and prior injuries or activities that are the reason you have pain now. (Not uncommon for a car accident 15 years ago that’s causing you pain now)

Step 2: Biomechanical analysis of your feet and posture, range of motion, muscle and orthopedic tests to determine problem areas to focus on.

Step 3: Utilize state of the art equipment and therapy techniques to correct the problem.

Step 4: Get released from care and get advised of home exercises to prevent re-occurrences.

Step 5: Get re-evaluated if a new trauma arises or a flare- up happens due to poor compliance with home rehab program.

What Do Chiropractors Correct?

Chiropractors have a term for misalignments: subluxations. A vertebral subluxation is a misalignment of the bones that protect the spinal cord. It’s a leak in the roof. Or a kink in the wiring of your nervous system.

It is common for patients to get x-rays, MRI’s, or visits to other doctors and STILL not know the cause of their pain or problem. Chiropractors are the only doctors trained to find and correct subluxations which many times are the cause of your pain or problem. We frequently hear patients say to us, “No one (doctors) can find my problem.” This is because the doctor, although well-intentioned, is not trained to look for subluxations.

We do offer other medical services in our office and when a condition is out of our scope of expertise, we refer to other medical providers.
Our office has great working relationships with many local primary and specialty physicians.

The severity of the subluxation can vary, and there are a number of potential contributing factors that can be physical, emotional, mental, or chemical. The subluxation can be caused by any number of incidents, from birth trauma to an auto accident to simple repetition or over-use.

When a subluxation occurs, a chiropractor can correct the misaligned bone and allow it to return to its proper position. This procedure is appropriately called an adjustment, and the adjustment enables the body to heal. The leak is fixed. The wiring is fixed. Information is flowing again.

To keep the wiring fixed and the information flowing, several adjustments over a course of time may be necessary, in addition to massage, physical therapy, stretching exercises, or strengthening exercises. In the chiropractic world, keeping the problem fixed and preventing its reoccurrence is just as important as the initial remedy.

Chiropractic care is effective for a wide variety of conditions. The following is a partial list of some of the most common. If you do not see your specific condition listed, we encourage you to give us a call so we can personally address your particular concerns.
