About Chiropractic Care
What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper motion to your joints and improving nervous system function. It’s a natural, hands-on approach to pain relief and better mobility, without drugs or surgery.
How do chiropractic adjustments work?
When joints don’t move well, they can cause pain, inflammation, and nerve irritation. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore normal motion and allow your body to heal more effectively.
What is an adjustment?
An adjustment is a gentle, targeted movement applied to a joint. It helps improve mobility, reduce pain, and support your body’s natural healing processes.
