BUT IF THERE IS INTERFERENCE, there can be a breakdown or reduction in health, well being, function of systems or performance. THE GOAL OF CHIROPRACTIC is to first locate the cause of the interference, and then remove it by a specific adjustment. The body will then begin to rebalance and heal itself naturally. Adjustments don't cure disease, but improve the body's ability to fight disease.

PAIN IS A SYMPTOM of something wrong: the body's own alarm system. Traditional medicine usually focuses on treating the symptoms, not the cause of those symptoms. This is similar to putting tape over the ringer in the fire alarm when it goes off because the noise annoys you. The fire does not go away just because we do not hear the bell! On the contrary, it usually continues to get worse, and if left alone will do terrible permanent damage. Likewise this applies to the human body.

CHIROPRACTIC DOES NOT USE DRUGS TO RID THE BODY OF PAIN AND DISCOMFORT, it searches for the cause and treats that cause directly.

EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS ARE EXTENSIVE. Chiropractic College is a four-year graduate program, usually after a science degree has been earned from undergraduate study. Most schools require the Chiropractic student to complete a one-year residency program at the college as well as a three-month "on-site internship" at a chiropractic clinic. The Doctor of Chiropractic is required to pass multiple National and State licensing examinations and must adhere to strict quality standards of care set by each state, just like medical doctors.

DOCTORS OF CHIROPRACTIC are very well educated in the healing arts and can very effectively locate the cause of a problem and address it directly. In fact, independent studies have now shown Chiropractic to be the best non-invasive approach to a number of health problems including degenerative arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, migraines, tension headaches, sports injuries, and more. The list continues to grow!
