About Chiropractic:

What is Chiropractic?

Chiro: - [cheer-oh] (Greek) hand; pertaining to the hand or hands.

practic: - [prak-tik] the exercise or pursuit of a profession or occupation.

Chiropractic is the art and science of a profession, practiced by hand, which is used to alleviate pressure on the nervous system that can disrupt nerve flow from the brain to every organ, cell and tissue in the body. This disruption, known as a Subluxation, can alter the ability of the brain to control every function in the body. Such a disruption can result in symptoms like simple back pain or muscle spasm, to sciatic pain down the leg, or pain between the shoulders from poor posture, and even to symptoms as severe as alterations in organ function like thyroid, insulin, or hormone production.

Chiropractic was first recognized as a medical profession in 1895 by the founding father of chiropractic, D.D. Palmer. Dr. Palmer opened the preeminent college of study for chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa at that time. This is the very institution where Dr. Anderson received his degree in chiropractic.

Chiropractic is the leading drugless healing art in the world. When a patient first visits a chiropractor, he or she may come in looking for improved health (called maintenance care - the prevention of disease and sickness) or simply come in because of a complaint or problem that they would like treated without drugs or surgery.

You see, Chiropractic is a non-invasive therapy that has very minimal side effects. Most patients will come in stating that the headaches they never told me about, or the pain down their arm they had for years, or the fact that they now sleep through the night, is a benefit they never knew they could attain, especially when they came in for some other symptom.

Research proves that Chiropractic can help patients with a variety of conditions to get better or improve. Positive results have been recorded in patients with G-I problems, high blood pressure, insomnia, allergies, asthma, dizziness, menstrual and menopause disorders, and more.

That is why millions of people see chiropractors on a regular basis - because they know the benefits of maintaining their health through Chiropractic care.
