What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is all about taking care of your spine to help slow down and prevent spinal degeneration. Keeping sound spinal structure will allow you to stay mobile and active into old age. The best way to tell if you have early signs of spinal degeneration is by looking at your posture. Take a picture of yourself from the side and see if your ear is in alignment with your shoulder. If it is not, you are probably in Stage 1 of Spinal Degeneration. The good news is you can slow down, stop, and sometimes reverse the degeneration. Poor posture is caused by spinal misalignments. Daily stress to the spine creates these misalignments. A Chiroprator's job is to find these misalignments and realign them; which is termed an "adjustment". Also, stabilizing the misalignment is just as important as the realignment. Stabilization involves strengthening the multifidus muscles, lumbopelvic muscles, and specific postural muscles. When the exercises and adjustments are done together they synergistically help restore function and increase functional capacity. This means you can stay active or finally get active again, and do the things that you love in life with no limitations. We want you to live healthy and happy all the way to 100.
