As your partner in health care, we are committed to your general good health. Though some believe that chiropractic care is intended to relieve neck and back pain, it has far-reaching benefits. A wide variety of health problems stem from spinal imbalance and dysfunction of the spinal joint and nervous system. Everyday living, stress and old injuries can cause vertebrae to lose their proper position or motion. The dysfunction can irritate your nervous system, causing pain and nerve interference throughout the body. By restoring spinal balance, chiropractic care aids the body in healing itself. Frequency of adjustments varies greatly among patients, depending on the severity and duration or your condition, along with the state of your general health. Once proper alignment is achieved, occasional adjustments are recommended to maintain spinal health. Similar to routine dental cleanings, or physical examinations, occasional visits to a chiropractor helps prevent back, neck and joint conditions.
