What is Chiropractic Treatment?
Chiropractic was developed over 100 years ago as a way to help the body move better and become healthier. Initially “adjusting” was the only therapy, but chiropractic has evolved to include a variety of treatments, all of which serve to improve function and decrease pain. Adjusting can be done in a variety of ways, all with the goal of getting joints that aren’t moving properly to move more freely.

How does it help?
Think about a shopping cart with a wobbly wheel. The wheel that is not moving right can throw the whole cart off. This is true for the body as well. Take a “sticky” joint in the low back, for example. This can cause pain in that area but also in other areas because the body compensates. Adjusting the joints can help your “wobbly wheels” to move more smoothly and your body to work and feel better as a whole.
