It’s moving medicine! Chiropractic medicine specializes in the structure and function of human anatomy. Thomas A. Edison said, “The doctor of the future… will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."

The human frame is basically made up of the skeletal system (206 bones) and the muscular system (656 to 850 muscles), and functions by means of the nervous and circulatory systems. It’s important to care for these systems as you care for your teeth, skin, eyes, etc. These systems keep you going and enjoying a high quality of life.

Chiropractors treat a multitude of conditions, such as:

• headaches
• numbness and tingling
• shoulder pain
• knee pain

Similarly, Chiropractics treat a variety of patients  including:

• Young children
• Senior citizens
• Expecting mothers.

Chiropractic care addresses your presenting symptoms, if any, as well as assesses potential conditions you may incur based on your activities of daily living and structural health.

It has been said that chiropractic care parallels dentistry. You should see your chiropractor if a sudden onset of shoulder, back, or knee, etc. pain occurs, and see your chiropractor to prevent future complications and manage the health of your neuromusculoskeletal system (nerve-muscle-skeletal systems). Family doctors, dentists, neurologists, orthopaedist, etc. refer to chiropractors, and vice verse. This synergistic effort provides you with the best opportunity for keeping well.

We love thinking about the future. For some it’s gadgets and for others it’s financial planning. Consider present as well as preventative healthcare. A definition of medicine is “the art and science of healing. It encompasses a range of practices evolved to maintain and restore human health by the prevention and treatment of illness”. It’s important that you know how your body works. Just as we are all different on the outside, we are all also different on the inside.

Take advantage of chiropractic care, and learn what you are made of.
