What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health care discipline, which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal without the use of drugs or surgery. This is accomplished by focusing on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) as that relationship may affect the preservation and restoration of health.
Who should visit a Chiropractor?
Anyone interested in improving their health and working towards being their best and/or getting more out of life. Virtually everyone, regardless of age or current level of health can benefit from Chiropractic care. People of all ages, health levels and lifestyles find that Chiropractic can help them reach their goals. It has been found to be effective in relieving headaches, neck or back pain, sciatica, numbness, tingling, or pain in your arms and/or legs and joint pain even from arthritis, so if any of these or other aches and pains are keeping you from enjoying the activities you want to do, you should give Chiropractic a chance.
