About Chiro
Chiropractic is a system of healing that emphasizes the structural integrity of the body. Irregular alignment of the bodys parts, particularly the spine, may impair nerve function, causing or aggravating disorders throughout the body. These disorders may be caused by long-term stresses such as obesity or poor posture, or by a sudden shock. Many chiropractors specialize in treating acute sports, auto accident, and work-related injuries.

During an office visit, a chiropractor will first discuss your health history and review your daily activities to determine if any habits may be harmful. Next, the doctor will thoroughly examine your nervous, muscular and skeletal systems and check the bodys alignment. After evaluating all relevant body functions, the doctor will sometimes obtain data on muscle strength and the bodys adaptation to gravity. The chiropractor may also take x-rays or conduct lab tests.

Once a diagnosis has been made, the doctor will recommend corrective action. This discussion will let you know what you can expect in terms of treatment and the time required for recovery. If another type of treatment is required, patients may be referred to an M.D. or a D.O.
