Our Mission

Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal alignment to alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments, including muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and more. This is accomplished by adjusting the position of the spinal column to its proper shape, providing a non-invasive solution for pain relief.

Common Concerns, Conditions, And Issues

Chiropractors are the unsung heroes of musculoskeletal health, tackling a wide range of concerns that can disrupt your daily life. Back pain, one of the most common complaints, is their bread and butter. Whether it’s from poor posture, a muscle strain, or something more serious like a herniated disc, chiropractors use targeted adjustments to get you back on track—literally. Neck pain, often caused by long hours at a desk or staring down at your phone, is another frequent issue they address. Think of chiropractors as body mechanics, realigning your spine so you can move freely without discomfort.

But their expertise doesn’t end there. Chiropractors also help with headaches, particularly tension and migraines, which are often linked to misalignment in the neck and upper spine. Sciatica, joint pain, and even sports injuries are all part of their repertoire. And if you’ve ever been in a car accident or suffered a whiplash injury, a chiropractor is your go-to for recovery. By focusing on the root cause of your discomfort instead of just masking symptoms, they help restore balance and function to your body, making everyday movements feel effortless again.

The History of Chiropractic Care

The word “Chiropractic” is derived from the Greek words “cheir” (hand) and “praktos” (done) combined to mean “done by hand.” It was chosen by the developer of chiropractic care, Daniel David Palmer. In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, who later reported that his hearing had improved due to the change.

D.D. Palmer opened the first chiropractic school two years later, and in the century since, chiropractic professionals have used spinal adjustments to help people prevent and cope with back pain, carpal tunnel, muscle strain, headaches and migraines, and a variety of other physical ailments. Millions of people benefit from the work of Dr. Palmer today.

What Kind of Training Does a Chiropractor Have?

Chiropractic doctors go through a minimum of four years of schooling at a chiropractic college, generally preceded by an undergraduate degree in the basic sciences or several years of experience in a prior relevant health care field.

Students of chiropractic care must spend a minimum of at least 4,200 hours with their teacher, and a minimum of 1,000 hours of fully supervised clinical training with an instructor as they learn the appropriate diagnosis and adjustment techniques to help heal your body and restore it to its natural, fully functioning state.
