Chiropractic

Chiropractic was founded on the idea that the core of our health is our nervous system with the spine as the foundation. The idea being that, if there are shifts in this foundation, the structural and nervous systems will react.

The spine's function as the structural center of your body is to operate as a neurological relay station, processing all information sent between brain and body. So, when there are shifts and imbalances of the spine, our bodies can react in many different ways. Often the result is pain, while other times, it causes improper function of muscles, organs and systems.

Doctors of Chiropractic diagnose and treat the underlying causes of health problems and work to restore natural balance to the body. Chiropractors employ manual techniques, called adjustments, to re-establish proper alignment. For further support of the treatment, the doctor will often also advise on nutrition, rehabilitative exercises, and develop modifications in the patient's daily activities to help achieve a state of dynamic health and longevity.

Massage

Massage is one of the oldest healing arts. Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document its use; the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.

Massage therapy has proven beneficial for rehabilitation and many chronic conditions including low back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, immunity suppression, infertility, smoking cessation, depression, and more. Massage also helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living that can lead to disease and illness.
