What's It All About?
Chiropractic is a health care science and healing art
that emphasizes the relationship between body structure
and function. The chiropractic approach strengthens the
inherent recuperative powers of the human body primarily
by treatment methods directed at the neuromusculoskeletal
system. Chiropractic provides a unique contribution to
the expanding and changing world of health care. The Doctor
of Chiropractic is a primary health care provider serving
as an individual practitioner and as a member of a health
care team in a variety of settings.
The Doctor of Chiropractic is proficient in diagnosis,
treatment, prevention and health promotion, and is qualified
to co-treat and/or refer to other health care providers
for additional care as indicated by the patient's condition.
Chiropractic care generally includes manual manipulation
of the spine and extraspinal structures and the use of
such related therapies as physiological therapeutics, nutritional
and personal counseling, lifestyle modification, and patient
education.
Chiropractic treatments (spinal adjustments) are
comfortable, safe, and highly effective. People of all
ages can receive chiropractic care to stay healthy, including
infants and the elderly. Years of training, education,
and experience enable your Chiropractor to determine if
chiropractic care can benefit you and your family. Chiropractors
are highly educated, caring professionals sensitive to
the natural health care needs of your family. |
