What is chiropractic care?
Traditional medicine aims to solve your health issues by whatever means necessary, often with the use of drugs or invasive procedures. Chiropractic care takes a step back and treats your body as a whole.
Your musculoskeletal system is an extraordinarily complex network of bones, muscles, connective tissue, and other soft tissue that provides the foundation for all of the functions in your body, from your nervous system to your circulatory system. A malfunction in any one area of your musculoskeletal system can have a cascading effect throughout your body, upsetting the flow and balance of your body’s functions.
The goal of chiropractic care is to address the alignment issues that are often at the heart of what ails you, starting with your spine. As the primary structure responsible for your entire body, as well as the main conduit from your brain to your body, your spine’s role in your overall health and wellness cannot be overstated.
What does a chiropractor do?
A doctor of chiropractic, or DC, such as Dr. Nick, turns to a number of hands-on techniques to restore proper alignment to your musculoskeletal system, starting with spinal adjustments, and moving out from there to target your specific problem. In other words, Dr. Nick not only treats the specific area that’s causing you problems, but he goes a step further and addresses your overall musculoskeletal system to ensure that all of your body’s powerful natural resources are functioning properly, allowing you to heal faster.
To accomplish this, Dr. Nick turns to several treatment modalities, including:
- Spinal adjustments
- Regenerative medicine
- Trigger point injections- Administered by our Certified Nurse Practitioner
- Rehabilitation
- Acupuncture
- Massage therapy
- Lifestyle advice
Dr. Nick and our medical staff works with you to customize a multipronged approach for effective and long-lasting results that will have you functioning at your optimal level.
