Chiropractic Care
More than 30 million people a year look to Chiropractic care for safe, natural, and effective relief for their back pain, neck pain, extremity pain, migraines, hip pain, and much more.
"Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs and surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health." - The Association of Chiropractic Colleges
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy aids in muscle relaxation, relieves spasm or cramping, increases range of motion, stretches tissue and positively affects certain scar tissue. Muscles benefit from massage by direct contact and indirectly from improved circulation. After a massage, the body can more efficiently circulate clean, oxygenated blood and take deoxygenated blood and other wastes, such as lactic acid, to be discarded as waste material.
Neurologically, massage decreases tension and anxiety. It has been shown to be useful in relieving depression. It may also promote a positive self-image and sense of self-worth. It relieves fatigue and enhances a general sense of well-being.
