What we treat:

THE ROOT CAUSE

One of the things we are passionate about is helping you find the root cause.

This is often why Chiropractors don’t just focus on the area of discomfort. Because sometimes the problem can be coming from somewhere else in the body.

FEELING BETTER

We will do all we can to relieve your pain, get you moving and feeling better.

THE STRESS FACTOR

Stress is more than that feeling of being overwhelmed. There are several factors to stress:

Emotional - all those FEELINGS and interactions have an impact (for good and bad)

Chemical - the foods you eat, chemicals/cleaning agents/pollutants you come into contact with

Physical - what you do with and to your body

HOLISTIC

Our approach is holistic, meaning we may not only look at your spine, joints and muscles but also exercise, diet, sleep and stress.

We may recommend other therapies and ways to ensure you get the best care.

Skeleton Q

What do chiropractors do?
