How we help you
Misalignments of the spine are referred to as (vertebral) subluxations. Subluxations interfere with nerve transmissions, messages between the brain and the body. Interruptions of these messages allow sickness and disease to develop within the body, presenting as any number of symptoms (such as sciatica, migraines, IBS). We locate and correct these misalignments allowing the body to heal from within; above, down, inside, out.
finding misalignments
Spinal x-rays are taken in our office to know when, where, what to adjust as well as when not to adjust and instead make the appropriate referral (out of the office). Todays x-rays are highly efficient, minimizing the exposure to the person and providing detailed pictures allowing for a focused approach towards your health.
NOTE: films are not taken in every case, only when necessary.
Reducing misalignments
The adjustment reduces and corrects the spinal misalignment. It is most often done by hand and in some cases the assistance of a table or instrument is used. Certain health conditions (osteoporosis) require a reduced force to the spine and the instrument allows for this accommodation. Some people simply don’t like to hear the cracking/popping sound and the table or instrument removes the audible popping/cracking sound from the procedure.

Removing Barriers
Costs associated with care are always discussed before any services are rendered so that you are informed and therefore comfortable and can then focus on what is most important, your health.
If you don’t have coverage, do not let that stop you. Approximately 90% of our practice
members have no chiropractic benefits. Our policy is that everyone should be able to afford the
care that they need. For this reason, we offer individual and family care plans.
