The practice

One career. One standard of care.

Some clinics hang stock photos. This one has a national team on its resume — and 37 years on Marguerite Parkway to go with it.

Why chiropractic

What an adjustment actually does.

The adjustment is a safe, natural, noninvasive procedure. Chiropractors are the only healthcare professionals trained to deliver it — spinal manipulation by anyone else has been shown to be both more dangerous and less effective.

Correcting a misalignment reduces pain and inflammation, reduces muscle spasm and tension, normalizes spinal biomechanics, and — more importantly — removes the nerve irritation and interference that degrades how the whole body works.

Beyond the spine and pelvis, almost every other joint can be adjusted: hands and feet, wrists and ankles, elbows and knees, shoulders and hips, ribs and jaw. Restoring their motion increases the working life of the joint. Motion is also the only way to move nutrients into cartilage and flush waste out, which is why athletes care about this as much as patients in pain do.
