What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a drug-free, non-surgical approach to healing and wellness. Chiropractic care restores health and prevents injury by improving the structural integrity of the body, primarily the spine. The brain communicates with the rest of the body via the spinal cord, spinal nerves, and peripheral nerves. When functioning perfectly, this communication is uninterrupted, and the messages go to and from the brain without interference.

Addressing the Root of the Problem

The nervous system serves as the body's wiring/electrical system. If this wiring is inhibited, the signal does not reach the intended body part (organ, gland, tissue), and dysfunction or dis-ease may result. Such interferences can manifest anywhere along your spine or vital organs. For example, problems in your arm, shoulder, elbow, hand, or even your thyroid gland, may actually be caused by a problem in your neck where the nerves connecting to the affected area originate. Dr. Stanton is a qualified Doctor of Chiropractic and can assess the spine for structural interferences and remove them through gentle, non-invasive and controlled techniques.

Established Practice

According to The Association of Chiropractic Colleges, chiropractic care focuses on the relationship of structure and function (as coordinated by the nervous system), and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of your health. Qualified chiropractors are professional practitioners, delivering long-term care at a fraction of the cost of drug treatments and surgery.
