Why we wrote this guide?
"There is a vast difference between treating effects and adjusting the cause" - DD Palmer. Chiropractic is a Holistic Health Philosophy with emphasis on figuring out the real root cause of a physical symptom in one's body. The term “chiropractic” combines the Greek words
cheir (hand) and
praxis (practice) to describe a treatment done by hand.

Infact, it is so successful that many insurance companies will cover and pay for your chiropractic visit. Over the last few decades Chiropractic Care has become an integral part of Modern Medicine and combines beautifully with Western Medicine. Chiropractic Care is definitely on the top of our list as a healing and wellness practice that everyone and anyone should integrate and consider as part of their healthcare regimen.
Who this guide is for?
Since Chiropractic emphasis "Finding the root cause of a problem instead of just managing it" , this guide is for the consumer who believes in our body's innate ability to heal itself. The goal of Chiropractic Care is to help us be in touch with our bodies and to trust that every symptom has an underlying issue and with just a slight adjustment, our bodies are well equipped to take care of the rest and help us heal.
