Why Choose Chiropractic?

Why would you go to a chiropractor instead of an MD, DO or physical therapist?

One thing that makes chiropractic unique is that from day one, chiropractors are trained to think of the body as being designed to function properly.  As long as the body is given proper air, food, water, safety and rest, it will function at its best.

We view disease as a process that happens when the body is not functioning as it should.

Chiropractors focus on the spine because it contains the spinal cord and nerve roots that can get be injured, when the spine misaligns.  The spinal cord and nerve roots carry messages to and from the brain.  If the messages don’t get thru, the body will not function like it should.  Re-aligning the spine helps the body to function better.

But then we go even deeper to find out what caused the spine to misalign in the first place.  Was it caused by a trauma, a bad mattress, a toxin that affected the muscles,  a diet filled with junk, exhaustion from not sleeping or …?  Once the body is given what it needs, it will function like it should and pain will go away.

This way of looking at the body is much different than modern medicine.  Modern medicine treats the body by using drugs to mask symptoms.  The underlying problems are then ignored until they get so bad that surgery becomes necessary.  This is a bad way of thinking and it is probably why our healthcare system is in a shambles today.

Now, I’m not saying that drugs aren’t totally necessary.  I’ve treated many patients who have needed medication because the pain was so intense they couldn’t do anything without it.  But, they got the problem treated properly, so their body functioned better and they no longer needed to take the pills.  Last I checked, there is no pill that will move a bone away from a nerve.
