About Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic - Greek for 'done by hand'

Chiropractic is a safe, natural and effective system of health care discovered by Dr. Daniel David Palmer in Davenport, Iowa, in 1895. The science of Chiropractic care involves the anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) of the body and problems that the body encounters (pathology). Today, there are over 55,000 licensed practitioners in the U.S.

A chiropractor's goal is to treat the cause of the problem. Medical doctors often rely on drugs to solve a problem and many times the drug only temporarily relieves the symptoms, not the CAUSE.

For example, a person has a backache and takes a prescribed drug. The person no longer feels the pain, but the next day the backache returns. The drug only relieved the symptoms (pain), not the CAUSE (the reason for the back ache). The reason for many physical ailments is a subluxation. Chiropractors treat the subluxation through spinal adjustments. This approach provides long-term benefits for the patient because the problem is solved without the use of drugs.

Through a careful examination, a Doctor of Chiropractic can help determine the cause of a problem and work to correct it. This care allows the body to return to a state of health and wellness. By working to restore the normal function of the body, chiropractic care typically prevents the need for drugs or surgery.
