Chiropractic
Chiropractic is the Science, Art and Philosophy that concerns itself with the restoration of good health by restoring and maintaining a properly functioning spine and nervous system, without the use of drugs or surgery. Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism.
These important functions are controlled by the brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of the body. The skull protects the delicate tissues of the brain. The moving bones of the spine protect the vulnerable communication pathways of the spinal cord and nerve roots. If the nervous system is impaired, it can cause malfunction of the tissues and organs throughout the body. Doctors of Chiropractic call this the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
The Chiropractic adjustment has been proven to increase motion, increase circulation, reduce swelling and pain, and remove nervous system irritation. Once this irritation is removed, your body is able to do what it is designed to do - heal itself.
Massage/Myofascial Therapies
Whereas Chiropractic is mainly focused on the joints and nervous system, various types of Massage focus on the soft tissues of the body. They can be used to reduce stress, relieve pain, break up scar tissue, and increase circulation.
Soft tissue therapy is the perfect complement to chiropractic and the other half of a comprehensive physical therapy. When used in combination, Chiropractic and soft tissue therapy are an extremely effective treatment for almost any physical ailment.
