Chiropractic is founded upon the vitalistic principle that the body is a self-healing organism.
Chiropractors locate, analyze, and adjust the misaligned areas of the spine to achieve optimal nervous system function.
The objective of the adjustment is to reduce stress to the nervous system caused by spinal and cranial misalignments. This increases the energy and efficiency of the system, allowing the body to perform optimally and improve the potential for healing and wellness.

Because Dr. Erin utilizes light force techniques, very rarely will an adjustment hurt. When working with infants and young toddlers, she uses only an ounce of pressure, enough to check for ripeness of an avocado. Some patients may experience soreness after the first adjustment when misalignments that have been present for months or even years are corrected.

As long as you are putting stress on your spine, it is wise to take care of it!
We never guilt you into extended care. Chiropractic is a lifestyle choice. When patients see how great they feel after getting adjusted, they often want to maintain their alignment.
-
The number and frequency of adjustments vary from person to person. Most sense some progress within a week or two. As supporting muscles and ligaments heal, visits may become less frequent. Cases of long-term spinal stress may require visits over many months.

In most cases, we are out of network with your insurance. By allowing third parties to dictate your care or cap your visits at a certain number, it is rare that our patients meet their goals. We will recommend a number of visits based solely on your case history and health goal. To keep our care affordable and in reach for most families (similar to most copays), we offer both family discounts and packages. HSA and FSA dollars can be used for your care.
