Importance of Chiropractic Work

"Chiropractic focuses on the health of the spine, mainly on the joints, or moveable segments of the spine.  Throughout life, those joints, or moveable segments go through a tremendous amount of stress and turmoil.  For example, auto accidents, too much sitting, heavy lifting, wallets in pockets, heavy purses on one shoulder, workstations not supporting neutral postures, driving stick shift, sitting cross legged, falls, slips, and other accidents cause excessive strain to our underlining structure.  Moreover, our spine is always fighting against the pull of gravity every time we stand or sit!

Chiropractic focuses on returning the natural function and range of motion to all of those joints, or movable segments so that all of the structures that are connected to those joints, (muscles, tendons, ligaments, spinal discs, etc…) will work in harmony.  When those joints and surrounding tissues are functioning well, our body will continue to work and be there for us when we want it to, adding longevity and endurance to the function of our spine, nervous system and our lives." Words from the wonderful Chirporactor, Dr. Matt Green.
