What is Chiropractic?

Your brain is the “computer” that controls every function of your body. It sends signals through the spinal cord and its nerve extensions to your muscles and organs. Every move you make and every function your body performs all occur because of the impulses directed from the brain through the spinal cord. Your spinal cord is protected by your spinal column which is made up of individual vertebrae, each separated by a cushioning disc. Nerves exit from the spinal column and network out to all your muscles and organs. When your spinal column is subjected to unusual stress, such as an accident, poor posture, or long term tension, the vertebrae can slip. This can cause symptoms of backache, tingling in the arms and legs, headaches, fatigue, improper digestion and other organ dysfunctions. Chiropractic locates these subluxations and through gentle adjustments can restore your body’s normal functions. With nerve passages open and regulatory impulses free to pass, your body miraculous nervous system can heal without drugs. Pain medication is designed to mask symptoms, not cure causes. If your car began making a loud knocking noise, would you turn up the radio until you could not hear the noise and then consider the car fixed? Of course not, yet that is essentially what painkillers are designed to do. Chiropractic finds the root of the cause, and relives your pain by solving the problem not masking the symptoms.

Can Chiropractic help me?

Only a Doctor of Chiropractic can determine the answer to that question, but it has been shown that chiropractic can benefit us in many areas of our lives and not just when an injury such as a car accident, sports or on the job injury has occurred. It helps with different stages of our lives as well. In some cases it might even prevent an injury by keeping the body in alignment thus helping keep the nervous system in normal balance. Chiropractic can help with normal changes of the body and can be extremely beneficial during pregnancy, including the unborn child, asthma, colic, bed-wetting, headaches, back pain, and just during the normal aging process. Chiropractic doesn’t cost—it pays! Most insurance will cover treatment. Senior Citizens need not worry as the Federal Government recognizes Chiropractic as a benefit and covers treatment through Medicare. While some doctors have chosen not to accept Medicare, Pizza Clinics do. Insurance coverage can be discussed with our insurance department to help map a plan for you and your family.
