Chiropractic is the largest natural health care profession in the world.  The science and philosophy of chiropractic has evolved from the belief that your body is a self healing organism controlled by the nervous system.


Everything (circulation, breathing, elimination, hormones, etc.) is under the direction of this system. If the impulses of the nervous system are transmitted to and from the brain without interference, the body will be at its optimal state and better able to fight off physical, chemical and emotional stresses.  When a vertebra in your spine becomes restricted in its movement and/or misaligned (commonly called a subluxation) it can cause nerve interference.


A doctor of Chiropractic, utilizes his/her hands to adjust subluxations, allowing the body to express its optimal health potential.  Research has shown that Chiropractic care is effective in the treatment of back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, painful joints, shoulders, hips, jaw problems, fatigue and stress, to name a few. Current research is demonstrating the effectiveness of chiropractic and children with conditions such as chronic ear aches, asthma, bedwetting, colic, and growing pains.

Therapeutic massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy and is a system of stroking, pressing and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax, stimulate, and tone the body.


Massage does much more than create a pleasant sensation on the skin, it also works on the soft tissues (the muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone.  Massage also stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system (which runs parallel to the circulatory system), improving the elimination of waste throughout the body. It is effective in controlling chronic or acute pain, reducing stress and creating a sense of relaxation and well being.


Therapeutic massage is used to help obtain relief from many specific problems, including low back pain, migraine and muscle tension headaches, whiplash, and neck and shoulder tension to name a few.
