What Is Chiropractic Medicine?

Chiropractic medicine was first developed in America in 1895. It is a safe, effective and proven therapy method that has gained popularity throughout America, Britain, Canada, France and 70 other countries.

Treatment of the spine and spinal column is the focal point of chiropractic care. Many day-to-day activities have the potential to damage the spinal region of the body. When a misalignment occurs in this area, chiropractic care can safely and gently restore the body to a healthy state.

There are a variety of physical pain issues that can be alleviated with chiropractic care. Here are a few:
 

●	Chronic & Acute Low Back Pain	●	Disc Herniation	●	Neck Pain
●	Headache/Migraine Headache	●	Numbness & Tingling	●	Whiplash Injury
●	Pain in Shoulders, Wrists, Knees & Ankles	●	Frozen Shoulder	●	TMJ Dysfunction
●	Scoliosis	●	Chronic Fatigue	●	Perinatal Care

 
Regular day-to-day activities can cause misalignments. If one goes untreated the body’s ability to heal itself can be impaired. A misalignment can lead to muscle and joint pain, stiffness and discomfort. Chiropractic care helps restore your body to its healthy state without surgery or drugs, and allows you to be pain free.
