About Chiropractic
The Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) is a primary health-care provider, concerned with human health and prevention of disease. Chiropractors are trained extensively in diagnostic skills and are responsible to treat or refer to other doctors or practitioners, if appropriate. While chiropractic is most widely known for it’s superior treatment of pain and disorders of the neck and back, it also has provided many people with profound improvement in other areas, such as digestive problems, headaches, allergies, and disorders of the nervous system. The DC considers each individual as an integrated being and gives special attention to spinal biomechanics and neurological, muscular and vascular relationships. The word chiropractic means to practice or treat by hand.
The Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP)
is a board certified expert in the chiropractic subspecialty of
sports injuries. Certified Chiropractic Sports Physicians have post-doctoral
training in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions specific to
athletics. Care is frequently focused on the extremities, in addition
to the spine. Rehabilitation of injuries is an essential part of
treatment, with an emphasis on return to activity as quickly as
possible. Many athletes also use chiropractic care for performance
enhancement and as a component of injury prevention.
