Good nutrition ensures that your body is getting all the nutrients it needs to function at an optimal level. You must get all the vitamins, minerals, micro-nutrients, healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, lean proteins and other nutrients necessary for your organs and cells to do their work as well as they possibly can. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to get good nutrition – especially through the modern western diet.

Most people are surprised to discover how comprehensive chiropractic care is. Since back pain is one of the most common reasons that people come in to visit the chiropractor, many people have a mental reference that chiropractic medicine is simply about “back cracking.” Although alleviating back pain is one of our specialities, it is only part of the whole. The core focus of chiropractic care is to look for underlying problems and to treat the “whole person.” This means that through thorough hands-on examination and an in-depth review of your lifestyle and physical and emotional health, chiropractors can offer a highly personalized treatment plan, that is specific to your individual wellness needs over the long-term, rather than the temporary fixes or cookie cutter solutions that typically only focus on the immediately presenting problem.

One of the most beneficial aspects of chiropractic care is it’s hands-on, non-medicinal approach to healing. This is first facilitated by doing a manual spinal adjustment in order to ensure that the vertebral joints are properly aligned. Misalignment in this area can lead to a host of painful problems in other areas of the body such as pinched nerves, pulled muscles, migraines or poor circulation. To expedite and enhance the healing process, chiropractors also often make use of other holistic modalities such as massage therapy, acupuncture, physical therapy and nutritional counseling.
