CHIROPRACTIC FAQ'S
REGULAR TREATMENT VISIT: $50
WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractic is the art and science of treating the basic structure the human body-- your skeleton. Because the central bony structure in your skeleton is your spine and it houses and protects your nervous system, we influence the ability of the nervous system to function freely as well.
HOW DOES CHIROPRACTIC WORK WITH MASSAGES?
Chiropractic addresses issues with hard tissue (bones, joints, nerves.) Massage addresses issues with soft tissue: muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc. Put the two together, and that’s a thorough physical house cleaning for your whole body.
WHY WOULD I NEED TO SEE A CHIROPRACTOR?
We use our bodies every day and subject them to physical stress. Things like accidents, falls, stress or overexertion can negatively impact your spine or other joints. This can effect tissues, the nervous system and other areas of the body. Left unresolved, this can make you more susceptible to chronic problems. Chiropractic adjustments reduce pain, increase movement and improve performance.
WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT?
A chiropractic adjustment is a very safe, specific, controlled force applied to a joint that is not properly and freely moving to restore function and mobility.
