Chiropractic is a non-invasive, hands-on healthcare discipline that focuses on the body’s nervous system, muscles, and joints to help it function better. Each adjustment works to undo bad habits, poor postures, and stuck patterns that have been hardwired into our system over time. A course of chiropractic care works to restore body function, rebuild healthy patterns, and increase the body’s ability to handle stress.
Chiropractic visits consist of adjustments, joint mobilizations, and soft tissue work. Exercises and stretches are often prescribed to assist with your body’s healing process.

- Pediatric Specific Adjusting. A very soft approach – adjustments are made using the tips of our fingers – to apply gentle, constant pressure to a specific site. The pressure is usually similar to that of checking the ripeness of a peach.
- Diversified Technique. This approach uses a quick, gentle manual thrust is applied to free up spinal joints that have become “stuck.”
