Our Approach

Although the chiropractic profession sits largely towards the wellness and prevention end of the spectrum, we treat and take on acute conditions daily. Chiropractic medicine is a corrective procedure similar to physical therapy, but with more focus on the specific bony alignment than on soft tissue alone when done correctly. It does not replace physical therapy-it complements it.

Our approach is simple. We believe that health is amongst our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they’ve lost their health, our commitment is three-fold:

1. RELIEF CARE
Many people seek care in our practice and have one goal—relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

• Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem

• Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible

• Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery

2. CORRECTIVE CARE
As a common denominator, bones are where our muscles attach, where nerves exit or pass through, and where discs are located sandwich between our vertebrae. Addressing the alignment and position of our bones may help with pulled muscles, pinched nerves and slipped discs. Spinal joints that aren’t moving right can choke or irritate nearby nerves, restrict muscles, tendons, and ligaments, restrict or compress discs, and over the long term, contribute to degenerative disc disease and certain forms of arthritis.

Corrective care entails not only relief, but focuses on correcting the problem by creating a treatment plan to help improve the patient’s daily living, help muscles and other tissues heal quickly to prevent additional injury and pain, as well as prescribing exercises to help support lasting correction.

If there are still some residual concerns or if the patient’s condition worsens, we may also discuss other options for care that may compliment or replace our treatment for certain cases such as further testing, medication, physical therapy or possible surgery.

We also explain the value of post-symptomatic wellness care.

3. WELLNESS CARE
We’re committed to teaching our patients that true health is a journey, not a destination. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care and help our patients learn a new approach to healing without the need for prescribed medications or surgeries. Our desire is to see our patients lead a more proactive lifestyle instead of waiting for symptoms, pain and sickness to prevail.
