Chiropractic is a health care model that focuses on the structure and proper function of the human body, rather than focusing on symptoms and disease. For example, instead of giving a rotator cuff problem a cortisone injection, we will increase its function, strength, and range of motion. The same thing goes for neck and back problems. Drugs and surgery should be a last resort. Our office also offers nutritional consultations, nutritional products, and training/sports consultations. We also participate with all insurances except Medicaid.

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system, and the affects of this dysfunction on your health. Chiropractic care is used primarily to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints. A few common examples are back pain, neck pain and headaches.

Chiropractors practice a drugless, non-invasive hands-on approach to health care. Each patient at Back In Action can expect an consultation, examination, diagnosis, and customized treatment to suit their needs.

The most common treatment performed is the chiropractic adjustment. This procedure can be delivered manually as well as in a non-force manner. The purpose of the adjustment is to restore joint mobility and to stimulate the nervous system at spinal levels that have become hypomobile - or restricted in movement - as a result of tissue dysfunction. This dysfunction can be caused by physical inbalances that are exposed by repetitive motion, or by a single traumatic event. In both instances, the affected areas have undergone physical and chemically mediated changes that can cause inflammation, pain and decreased function. Adjustments of the areas causing the dysfunction restore mobility and affect the nervous system in a manner that allows adaption to external stresses encountered everyday.
