Historically, Chiropractic care is a healthcare discipline focused on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those related to the spine. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments to enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. 

The sports element of our practice is where we stand out as different.  We treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions of all joints in the body, including arms and legs.  Where most Chiropractic practice revolves around joint manipulations called “adjustments” we also employ a variety of other therapeutic approaches including soft tissue mobilization, exercise, and a variety of modalities to reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote tissue healing. 

Yes, chiropractic care is generally safe when performed by a licensed and trained chiropractor. Like all medical treatments, it has some risks, but serious complications are rare.

 In most cases, you do not need a referral to see a chiropractor. However, some insurance plans or specific conditions might require a referral from a primary care physician.

During your first visit, the chiropractor will take a detailed medical history, perform a physical examination, and may request X-rays or other imaging studies. Based on the findings, they will discuss a treatment plan with you.
