Chiropractic literally means done by hand, it's a natural, complimentary, hands on, drug free, surgery free approach to health. A chiropractor's main concern is your spine and the nervous system, our task is to evaluate the spine and ensure each individual vertebra is moving freely. A displaced or jammed vertebra can cause the spinal nerve that exits to become irritated causing pain and sometimes pins and needles, numbness and muscle spasm.
With the busy lives we live, rushing around, sitting in the car for hours, sitting behind a desk all day, lying on the couch, sleeping incorrectly, not getting enough sleep, falls, car accidents, lifting heavy objects, high levels of stress, and the list goes on, these are all causes for the healthy movable vertebra to lose its normal function and mobility.
We treat babies which can assist in optimal breastfeeding, for colic, constipation and general wellbeing. Pregnant woman, to help minimize lower back pain and ensure easier delivery by maintaining mobility in the hips. Office workers, who sit in front of a computer for extended periods causing neck and back pain due to the poor posture and decreased physical exercise. The elderly benefit a lot from the treatment by also maintaining mobility in joints that have been affected by years of wear and tear. Athletes benefit from chiropractic treatment by maintaining mobility and alignment of the joints helps improve their performance and perform optimally. Treatment involves manipulation of the spine, massage, and if necessary dry needling.
Prevention is better than cure, even if you have no pain you can benefit from regular treatment to maintain healthy joints and nerves. If you have neck pain, headaches, migraines, whiplash, shoulder pain, back pain, hip pain, leg pain, sciatica, pins and needles or numbness you should see a chiropractor immediately.
