Chiropractic doctors practice natural, drugless, non-invasive health care and rely on the body's ability to self-heal. Like other health-care providers, we follow a standard routine to gain information about the patient. We consult, review the case history, conduct a physical examination, examine the patient’s lifestyle, and we may request laboratory analyses and/or x-rays.

Unlike other health-care providers, however, chiropractic physicians also conduct a careful analysis of the patient's structure and pay particular attention to the spine. Using this information, a diagnosis is made. Included in the diagnosis is the probable reason for your pain or discomfort. It is important to note that chiropractors seek the origin of the illness in order to eliminate it-we do not simply treat the symptoms.

In all honesty everyone needs chiropractic care. This may come as a surprise, not only people in pain need to see a chiropractor but it is also for those who wish to remain pain-free and stay healthy. Gravity is a force to be reckoned with in every day life. Over time the body can fall out of adjustment making it more prone to injury. After symptoms have been eliminated it is important to continue with maintenance care.  

Your spine, just like your teeth and eyes, needs regular check-ups to make sure there are no problems developing. Just like pain from a cavity spinal and musculoskeletal pain can be prevented. For this reason we also see children whose parents want to keep them from developing spinal and/or health issues. If there are early problems, they can be detected and treated more easily than if allowed to become a major issue.

Wellness is a state of optimal conditions for normal function. The wellness approach is to look for underlying causes of any disturbance or disruption (which may or may not be causing symptoms at the time) and make whatever interventions and lifestyle adjustments would optimize the conditions for normal function. That environment encourages natural healing and minimizes the need for invasive treatment, which should be administered when only completely necessary.

When the body is working properly it tends to heal effectively no matter what the condition. When the body heals well and maintains itself well then there is another level of health that goes beyond "asymptomatic" or "pain free" which reveals an open ended opportunity for vitality, vibrant health. and an enhanced experience of life. This is true for mental and emotional health as well as physical health. Emotional wellness will address all but the most serious problems.
