Your body was meant to move and be active. You were born to be an athlete. Modern-day lifestyles and workplace environments limit the body's movement, which leads to increased wear and tear on the body.

What may first appear as muscle/joint stiffness will progress to soreness and achiness and then to debilitating pain as the body and joints slowly breaks down. Chiropractic provides a safe, natural and drug-free option to locate, correct and prevent joint dysfunctions, thereby playing a vital role in keeping your body balanced, flexible and functioning at its best.

When pain is actively managed, patients feel better, sleep better, and are better equipped to deal with the demands of everyday life. And, maintenance care, helps prevent pain, improve nerve communication and keep your joints -- and therefore you -- moving at your best.

Your spine is made up of 24 independent vertebrae, allowing your body to move, twist and bend through the routine activities of your day. It also helps protect the delicate central nervous system that controls and coordinates every muscle, tissue and organ of the body. Joint restrictions, also know as "subluxations", can get in the way of proper nerve communication from the brain to the body -- often resulting in pain and discomfort.

Chiropractors locate and correct these joint restrictions and apply a gentle, targeted movement to the body's spinal column and extremities, where and when indicated. This is commonly known as a chiropractic adjustment.

Educational requirements for chiropractors are among the most stringent of any health care profession. Chiropractors typically have 4 years of college, followed by a required 4 years at a professional chiropractic school. Because of the hands-on nature of chiropractic, a significant amount of time is spent in clinical training.

Many people are surprise to learn that the educational requirements to become a doctor of chiropractic are very similar to those required to become a medical doctor.

Thirty-four million Americans seek chiropractic care each year. Everyone from growing children to active seniors benefits from chiropractri's safe, natural and drug-free approach to pain relief and prevention.
