Good question! The answer is simple. Chiropractic care is a drug-free, non-surgical approach to healing and wellness.

It is the third largest primary health care profession in this country, second only to medicine and dentistry. It is a natural method of health care that focuses on treating the causes of physical problems, rather than covering up the warning signals (symptoms) with drugs.

For over 100 years chiropractors have honored the premise that our bodies are powerful healers themselves, given the right environment.

This means that doctors of chiropractic have always taught their patients about illness-prevention and natural ways of improving their total health.

Addressing the Root of the Problem

The nervous system serves as the body's wiring. If this wiring is inhibited, the signal does not reach the intended body part, and illness may result. Such interferences can manifest anywhere along your spine. Pain in your arm or hand may actually be caused by a problem in your neck, where the nerves connecting to that hand originate. A qualified chiropractor can examine the spine for interferences and remove them through controlled techniques.

Established Practice

According to The Association of Chiropractic Colleges, chiropractic care focuses on the relationship of structure and function (as coordinated by the nervous system), and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of your health. Qualified chiropractors are professional medical practitioners, delivering long-term care at a fraction of the cost of drug treatments and surgery.
