What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body. Your nervous system consists of your brain, spinal cord, and millions of nerves. Your brain is protected by the skull, and your spinal cord by the 24 moving bones of the spine. Many everyday activities can cause these spinal bones to lose their normal position or motion. This can result in nervous system dysfunction and ultimately, ill health. The chiropractic approach to better health is to detect, reduce, and help prevent nervous system dysfunction.

The Doctor's Education
Today's Doctor of Chiropractic is well educated. After completing the same undergraduate study that other types of doctors get, chiropractic doctors receive still another 4 years of postgraduate college education. Before practicing, they pass a rigorous National Board Examination and meet stringent licensing requirements. To keep up with the latest research, doctors attend seminars, scientific symposia, and read professional journals.
A Thorough Examination
After taking a complete case history to review important aspects of your health, a thorough examination will be conducted.
State of the art equipment including a digital posture evaluation,surface electomyelography (SEMG) and a thermography scan indicate nervous system dysfunction and musculoskeletal imbalances.
Diagnostic Imaging
Based on your examination findings, x-rays or other types of diagnostic imaging may be necessary.
These images can help reveal pathologies, document the history of your spinal health, and guide your doctor in creating a care program based on your unique spinal condition. Today's high-tech equipment and ultra-sensitive films help minimize your exposure.
