Your brain controls everything in your body, along with the spinal cord and the nerves that go to the different parts of your body. Your spinal cord transmits the messages to and from your brain.

This interference can cause pain (neck, shoulder, low back), tension, headaches, migraines, and many other symptoms in the body. Chiropractic works to realign these misaligned vertebra so that your body can function better as a whole and start to heal again. Our doctors treat all ages from birth through elderly. Specific techniques work best for different conditions and/or ages.
