Chiropractic Care
Your spinal column is a series of movable bones which begin at the base of your skull and end in the center of your hips. Thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves extend down the spine from the brain and exit through a series of openings. The nerves leave the spine and form a complicated network which influences every living tissue in your body. Accidents, falls, stress, tension, overexertion, and countless other factors can result in a displacements or derangements of the spinal column, causing irritation to spinal nerve roots. These irritations are often the cause of the symptoms you may be experiencing. Reducing or eliminating this irritation to spinal nerves can cause your body to operate more efficiently and more comfortably.

Chiropractic also places an emphasis on nutritional and exercise programs, wellness and lifestyle modifications for promoting physical and mental health. While chiropractors make no use of drugs or surgery, Doctors of chiropractic do refer patients for medical care when those interventions are indicated. Treatment Dr. Yoder will identify the spinal or extremity abnormality (subluxation) and begin care by making adjustments. "Adjustments" are usually given by hand or activator instrument (an instrument that delivers a gentle movement to the joint that is being adjusted), and consists of applying pressure to the areas of the spine that are out of alignment or that do not move properly within their normal range of motion. Doctors of chiropractic spend years learning "motion palpation" (the art of examining by movement or touch) and other forms of spinal examining procedures, so that they can administer specific and appropriate spinal adjustments. Chiropractic care can benefit many ailments and is beneficial to your entire family. Follow the links below to learn more about its application then contact us for a free chiropractic evaluation.
