What Does a Doctor of Chiropractic Do?

Doctors of Chiropractic are trained to diagnose and treat disorders of the body, most specifically of the neuromusculoskeletal system - simply defined as (nerves, muscles, skeleton - bones and joints.) A joint dysfunction (called a subluxation or misalignment) is primarly treated by a procedure known as a chiropractic adjustment. The chiropractor applies a quick and specific pressure to the mis-aligned joint that is not functioning properly to correct its alignment and cause a neurological response. The procedure is usually applied manually (low force tools can also be used), and results in a reduction of pain, inflammation, and restoration of function and mobility in the injured area.

In addition to chiropractic adjustment, our treatment plans may include therapeutic exercise, disc-decompression traction, acupuncture, ultrasound, electric muscle stimulation, nutritional counseling, and other professional advice that may improve overall health.
