About Us Personalized Care
What Is Chiropractic Healthcare?
The term “Chiropractic” comes from the Greek word “cheiro and praktikos” meaning “done by hand”. Chiropractic is a drug-free, non-surgical science which considers the human body as an integrated being. Although most Chiropractors believe that medicine and surgery are necessary in certain situations, conservative treatment is used first based on the persons symptomatology and conditions.
Stages to Wellness
Chiropractic treatment can be both preventive and corrective. It is important to educate people on how to prevent problems from occurring and also correct them if they do occur. There are three phases of Chiropractic care:
Relief – to reduce or eliminate pain;
Correction – to restore the body to normal or maximum function; and
Wellness – to prevent relapse of previous conditions and to address new conditions prior to becoming symptomatic.
