By developing a nurturing environment with patient education, our dedicated professional team works toward the completion of each patients’ personal healthcare goals.

Goals

To continuously strive for excellence in patient care. To constantly cultivate quality in patient education. To vigorously promote a positive community image. To advance our knowledge and treatment through clinical research.

Vision

Achieving the foregoing goals will result in patient care and chiropractic education that are of exceptional quality and competitive in the health care marketplace. The office atmosphere will be a positive one, inhabited by a growing body of people dedicated to improving their overall health; where expertise and technology are applied appropriately to patient care, outcome measurements are in place for research, and a high level of patient, and staff satisfaction prevails.

You and your family will have various health care needs over the years, including dental and medical care, eye examinations and spinal care. Each aspect is addressed, perhaps with some regularity, by a respective health care professional -- your medical doctor, dentist, optometrist, chiropractor and so forth. In that regard, your chiropractor, like the other professionals, may refer you to another member of the team (or to still another specialist) if a health condition is outside his or her scope of expertise.

Chiropractic is...

An approach to health that utilizes the body's inherent and natural recuperative powers.

A healing science that places emphasis on maintaining the structural integrity of the body.

A method of health care that is conservative and that does not utilize drugs or surgery.

Chiropractic, from its early beginnings, has endorsed the idea of wellness. It is a total, preventive approach to health that deals with addressing the cause of the problem rather than just the symptoms.

Chiropractic considers all aspects of the patient's life: family history; work; lifestyle and environment; diet; exercise regimen; the attention to prevention; and the patient's physical and emotional stress factors.

Chiropractic works by restoring a 
human being's inborn ability to be healthy.

When under the proper control of your nervous system, all the cells, tissues and organs of a person's body are designed to resist disease and ill health. The chiropractic approach to better health is to locate and remove interferences to a human being's natural state of being healthy.

An accessible interface with the nervous system is the system of 24 moving bones of the spinal column. A loss of normal motion or position of these bones can irritate or impair the function of the nervous system. This can disrupt the transmission of controlling nerve impulses.

With improved spinal function, there may be improved nervous system function. Your chiropractor can help remove interferences that may be impairing normal health.

Concise, Scientific Definition of Chiropractic

A past President of Palmer College of Chiropractic, developed a 90-second, scientifically irrefutable statement to explain chiropractic:

Chiropractic is that clinical science that is based upon a law of biology that there is born in living things an ability to be healthy, and secondly draws on the theory of physiology that there's a system in the body, the nervous system by name, that controls and coordinates all other organs and structures and relates the organism to its environment. Chiropractic clinical science hypothesizes an association between that system and health in the body, and chiropractic was originally conjectured by its founder as that science that was going to investigate how the framework could interfere with the integrity of the nervous system and its ability to control and coordinate all other organs and structures.

What is a chiropractic adjustment?

The intent of a spinal adjustment is to restore normal motion and function of the framework in order to restore normal function of the nerves. Chiropractors use several adjusting techniques to accomplish that, many characterized by a precise, specific thrust. The chiropractic adjustment generally differs from spinal manipulation practiced by a physical therapist or an osteopath because the chiropractic adjustment is more specific. It is done not just to mobilize a joint but to remove a subluxation. Indeed, the technique of chiropractic adjusting is a manual art requiring considerable knowledge and dexterity. Mastery of the art of adjusting takes extensive training and practice as does any other art.

Whom do chiropractors care for?

Chiropractors care for patients from a cross-section of society -- all ages and occupations. Although most of those cared for fall between 18 and 50 years of age, chiropractors have reported good success with both infants and the elderly as well. Skilled and unskilled laborers comprise the biggest percentage of occupations represented. Interestingly, the advent of computer terminals and other factors in the modern office has meant many musculoskeletal problems in the white collar workforce.

What do chiropractors care for?

The two conditions most commonly cared for by chiropractors are joint dysfunctions, which chiropractors refer to as "subluxations," and headaches. Some of the other conditions often seen are lower back pain, muscular strains or tears, degenerative joint disease, peripheral neuritis or neuralgia, tendonitis, colic, scoliosis and bursitis. Other conditions sometimes seen include osteoporosis, nutritional disorders, carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome and TMJ syndrome, to name a few.

Is chiropractic effective?

Evidence of effectiveness includes controlled scientific studies as well as clinical experience. With regard to the care of low back pain, the U.S. Agency for Health Care Policy and Research published a guideline in 1994 that recommended spinal adjustments. Other pro-chiropractic reports have appeared in Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and elsewhere.

What is a subluxation?

The term subluxation refers to a change in the position and/or motion of the spine and/or joints of the body, meaning that the spine or joints do not move in the normal way. When the spine is subluxated, the nerves in that area may behave abnormally. Nerves that send signals to the brain for muscle movement and pain sensation can be affected, changing what your brain perceives about the body and altering signals that the brain sends back. On the other hand, nerves that send signals to organs and tissues may be affected, with effects on those organs and tissues. The intent of a spinal adjustment is to restore normal motion, function and nerve impulse flow.

What the studies show...

"Manipulation can be helpful for patients with acute low back problems...within the first month of symptoms." 

U.S. Agency for Health Care Policy and Research

"Scientifically valid clinical studies support the fact that chiropractic spinal manipulation is more effective than alternative treatments for LBP (low-back pain). "

Ontario Ministry of Health

"Chiropractors are the only health practitioners who are necessarily equipped by their education and training to carry out spinal manual therapy." 

New Zealand Commission on

While the benefits of spinal adjusting to remove misalignment or "subluxations" have been confirmed by many studies, as indicated above, the practice itself can be traced back into ancient history at least as far as Hippocrates, often called "the father of medicine." D.D. Palmer performed the first true chiropractic adjustment of modern times in 1895 in Davenport, Iowa, not far from the site of the school he founded, Palmer College of Chiropractic. Palmer College is among the leading educators of chiropractic professionals.
