Chiropractic is derived from ancient Greek and means 'done by the hands'. Chiropractors focuses on the nerves, muscles, bones and joints of the body with the goal to provide health promotion, injury prevention, rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise. A Doctor of Chiropractic will assess, diagnosis and provide treatment. Each individual receives a treatment plan is tailored to their unique needs. X-rays may be required and can be prescribed by the Chiropractor directly. Chiropractors delivery treatment most commonly through an adjustment. An adjust is a highly skilled and precise movement or thrust applied by hand or instrument to a joint of the body. The adjustment loosens the joint to restore proper movement and optimize function. Adjustments can be carried out using an instrument, a drop piece or by hand. The technique used can vary based on patient and doctor preference. Dr. Katie uses manual, instrument and drop adjusting on a case by case basis. Chiropractors are primary care providers that can collaborate with your family medical doctor.
