Your body has incredible wisdom and power to function, heal, and recover!
Your body’s innate intelligence uses millions of processes to help you to adapt to the environment and keep you alive and thriving… these processes happen without you even having to think about it!
This is regulated by the brain and spinal cord (the nervous system). A healthy nervous system means that each process can happen correctly, allowing for optimal function of your body. Chiropractic care diagnoses, treats, and prevents disorders of your musculoskeletal system and their effects on the nervous system.
People often consult us because of an existing ailment or symptom. Many also use chiropractic care to prevent future health problems and feel their best.
Your chiropractic care starts with a neurological examination and physical assessment. The findings give a thorough analysis of the health of your nervous system, the function and mobility of your spine and other joints, and your overall health. Chiropractic adjustments release the tension found throughout the spine and joints of your body. This improves mobility, function, and brain-body communication so that your body can heal and recover in its natural way.
