What is Chiropractic?
We realize that this may be your first introduction to the field of Chiropractic. If this is the case, you probably have some questions pertaining to what Chiropractic is. It is the hope of our office, that this introduction can answer some of your questions.
Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts, and as a science is based on the premise that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system. Human body structures such as cells and organs function by impulses carried through nerves. When these nerve impulses travel uninterrupted, the organs and cells of the body are able to function normally. When there is an interference in the nerve supply, the organs and cells cannot function properly and a state of malfunction or a disease state may begin. The spinal cord has 31 pairs of spinal nerves which exit from the spinal column (or backbone). Although the spine offers support and protection for these very vital nerves, it can become misaligned and cause interference with the flow of nerve impulses mentioned earlier.
Chiropractic teaches that within the body there is a tendency to try to maintain a state of good health. This innate intelligence works in your body all of the time, even when you are not aware of it. For example, you do not tell yourself to breathe, your heart to beat, your digestive system to work. Your body has an inborn ability to function, and keep you well, provided there is no interference. Think about it. Do you get a headache because your body doesn't have aspirin?

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions benefit from chiropractic care?
Although chiropractic is used most frequently to relieve low back pain, studies have found it to be effective for a variety of conditions, such as migraine headaches, neck and shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and infantile colic.
Do adjustments hurt?
Under normal circumstances, adjustments don't hurt. The patient may experience a minor amount of discomfort during the adjustment which lasts only seconds.
Is Chiropractic safe?
Chiropractic adjustments or manipulations are extremely safe. The risk factor is estimated to be in excess of one million to one.
What kind of education and training do doctors of chiropractic have?
Chiropractors receive an education that emphasizes neuromuscular diagnosis and treatment. Preparation for the practice of chiropractic is concentrated on three areas of learning; basic training in the biological and health sciences (anatomy, physiology, histology, biochemistry, clinical and radiological diagnosis); specialized training in the chiropractic discipline (theoretical studies, practice, diagnosis and applications); and extensive clinical training.
Have any studies been published showing what chiropractic is effective for?
Several studies have documented the effectiveness of chiropractic in relieving back pain. More recent studies have shown chiropractic to be effective in treating infantile colic and migraine headaches.
What can I expect on my first visit?
The first thing a chiropractor will do is ask you about the health complaints about which you are chiefly concerned. The DC will also ask about your family history, dietary habits, other care you may have had (chiropractic, osteopathic, medical, etc.), your job, and other questions designed to help determine the nature of your illness and the best way to go about treating the problem.
A physical examination will be performed in accordance with your DC's clinical judgement, which may include x-rays, laboratory analysis and other diagnostic procedures. In addition, a careful spinal examination and analysis will be performed to detect any structural abnormalities which may be affecting or causing your condition. All of these elements are important components of your total health profile, and vital to the doctor of chiropractic in evaluating your problem.
