Chiropractic is a health care discipline that focuses on improving the body’s alignment. It is an effective treatment for a variety of conditions of the muscles, tendons, joints, bones, and nervous system.
Chiropractors use spinal adjustments, manual therapy, and other treatments to keep your body’s systems working the way they should. Our chiropractors will identify the underlying causes of your conditions, and then correct the conditions at their source—because that’s the best way to produce lasting results.
Chiropractic care can relieve pain, promote healing, and prevent problems down the road.

Benefits
Chiropractic treatments involve the doctor carefully adjusting the areas affected. The chiropractor will apply controlled force using their hands or a small instrument. This is how they correct your body’s alignment and improve its function. The process is safe, painless, and effective.
When you’re struggling with an injury, chronic pain, or health condition, you require a comprehensive plan—you want a customized treatment program to optimize your health, comfort, and function. That’s what we provide.
During the initial evaluation, our chiropractors will speak with you to get a detailed health history. Then they’ll perform a physical exam using a variety of diagnostic tools. Based on this assessment, the chiropractor will work with you to find the right treatment options and develop a customized treatment plan.
Your treatment plan may involve a variety of tools and techniques, including:
Most people start to feel relief after their first few visits, if not after the very first! However, the number of treatments you’ll need to achieve full health depends on the type of injury.
- Bone injuries take about 5-6 weeks to heal.
- Ligament and tendon injuries take about 6-8 weeks to heal.
- Discs and cartilage injuries need at least three months to heal.
However, everyone responds to treatments differently, and the exact length of time will depend on your unique circumstances.
