What does a chiropractor do?
Chiropractors use a variety of traditional types of physical exam procedures such as orthopedic, neurological, and associated tests as well as diagnostic imaging including x-rays, CT or MRI scans. The Chiropractor examines your spine and related areas involved with pain and loss of use. When two or more vertebrae do not bear weight or move properly it may cause different problems to occur such as inflammation (swelling), pain, lack of motion in the area and may affect the nerve and wherever that nerve is going in the body (radiculopathy). Referrals may also be arranged when necessary to other practitioners including a medical practitioner, massage therapist, physical therapist, podiatrist or other health professional as may be indicated.

Treatment
Spine care and prevention is very simple. It’s the treatment of 24 bones of the human body, the nerve, blood vessels, and disc among tissues between the vertebrae and the human conditions and health problems that may arise from these tissues. Spine care and prevention is simply the treatment of the movement of those vertebrae to restore the normal nerve and related tissue function and help the body recover. Treatment, generally, is not painful. You may be coming in to see us already in pain and we’ll do our best to keep our treatment as gentle and pain-free as possible.
