Chiropractic is one of the more widely used and accepted practices within alternative medicine. The level of acceptance in the United States has increased in recent years, as partially proven by widespread health insurance coverage for chiropractic care. Chiropractic care can be the answer for patients seeking relief from their musculoskeletal complaints and has been a successfully employed treatment for a variety of conditions and complaints. Many types of musculoskeletal conditions are the reason patients seek out the treatment from a chiropractor. Now, by incorporating a team approach with multiple disciplines in the same building, we are able to provide collaborative and comprehensive treatment for the overall wellness of our patients. This results in better outcomes, faster recovery and returning patients to their activities of daily living.

Chiropractors have many modalities at their disposal in the form of treatments that can be used to help treat various injuries. They often take x-rays to gather further information regarding the state of the spine. The protocol and treatment plan can be customized to the patient's needs. Typically, the treatment includes spinal manipulations, which the chiropractor performs either with his or her hands or with an assisting, noninvasive device. Different chiropractors use different techniques, based on their training and expertise and based on the nature of the physical injury being treated. In general, though, a spinal manipulation involves applying controlled pressure to a joint. By performing manipulation, the chiropractor aims to increase range and quality of motion and to decrease pain and discomfort.

For injuries, chiropractors might also advise rest, exercise, hot/cold therapy, massage, or other alternative medicine treatments. The chiropractor can advise the patient on what rehabilitative options are best for his or her circumstances and injury.

Chiropractic uses a variety of modalities to correct physical imbalances, most often occurring in the spine and affecting the nervous system.
