The term ”chiropractic” translates to “done by hand” in Greek. The art of chiropractic is providing an adjustment via the hands of the doctor to the patient's spine in order to remove fixations and allow the nervous system to function without interference.

Chiropractors treat numerous conditions from pain driven conditions such as headaches, neck pain, and low back pain to nervous system dysfunction like sciatica, disc herniations, and nerve impingement to providing maintenance care to the entire body

A chiropractic adjustment is traditionally done with the doctor’s hands but can be assisted by instruments or a drop table. The doctor will find areas of fixation in the spine (areas that aren’t freely moving like they should) and deliver a thrust into that area to restore motion and proper nervous system communication.

Chiropractic is an extremely safe, non-invasive, holistic form of health care. It is safe for newborns, children, pregnant mothers, athletes, and seniors.
