About Chiropractic
Chiropractic is the largest natural health profession in North America. We have been actively
helping patients enjoy better health since 1895. We offer a holistic approach to many joint,
muscle and nerve conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches and pain, numbness or tingling
of the arms or legs, and many other conditions.
Chiropractors make gentle adjustments to correct alignment and mobility of joints, primarily in the
spine (back and neck). This releases the pressure on nerves that control the function of everything in the body.
The result is a fast, natural way of removing pain and other symptoms and restoring your health.
Three Stages of Care
The Path to Wellness
- Release - to quickly relieve pain and tension in spine and balance the nervous system.
- Rebuild - the focus changes to strengthening the core muscles and joints of the spine and other weakened areas to help prevent a relapse.
- Wellness- an optional program to continue releasing and rebuilding the whole musculoskeletal system on a maintenance basis. This is highly
recommended for some patients to help avoid a relapse.
You get to choose how long you benefit. Some people say ‘once you start seeing a Chiropractor, you have to keep going’.
This is simply not true; at least, no more than finding a good restaurant that serves food you like. Do you think you
might go back if the service is good and you enjoy your meal? Of course you would. Many people find Chiropractic care helps
them so much, they can’t believe they hadn’t tried it earlier. However, once they reach the point where their symptoms are
under control, they are given the option to come back if and when it bothers them again or to continue on with regular
maintenance or wellness care. This varies on an individual basis from every two weeks to every three months. Many patients
find the once a month habit works for them but no one is pressured into this decision.
Some patients are smart with their exercises and manage to keep their problem well under control but it’s still comforting
to know we are here if they need us again.
