FAQ

Our Natural Approach to Health as An Augusta Chiropractor
Every year millions of Americans turn to chiropractic care for a safe, holistic and effective approach to alleviate back, neck and shoulder pain. They also turn to a chiropractor’s care to relieve pain in extremities, fatigue and general poor health. As a professional Chiropractor, we believe that correcting the root of the problem provides significant long term benefits rather than simply treating or masking symptoms.
We do not perform surgery or prescribe drugs but stress the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and I may prescribe dietary supplements. We might be giving you some suggestions on dietary changes as well as some specific spine exercises to do. The exercises that I teach you will coincide with your therapy between appointments here at your chiropractic center. Our goal as your Chiropractor is to restore your entire body to optimal health.

Our Approach is Hands On as Your Chiropractor
Many people are under the misconception that a chiropractic doctor is limited to providing back pain relief or neck pain relief. Not only does chiropractic therapy provide back pain treatment but includes treatment of the entire body. We take a hands-on approach to your health by adjusting the imbalances in the skeletal system, particularly the spine. Chiropractic care is a noninvasive discipline that sees the body as a system of parts that work together in balance.
Misalignment in one or more of the spinal vertebrae causes nerve impulses to be disrupted, resulting in a number of symptoms. Unusual sensations could result in different areas of your body. They may also include swelling, fatigue or sinus and allergy issues. A chiropractic center is where you might come to find shoulder pain relief and hip pain relief and will be surprised to discover that with chiropractic care you are pain free.
Through a series of adjustments we will adjust your spine and other areas of your skeletal system to its correct alignment. Returning the vertebrae to their correct placement will restore proper function to the nervous system and the rest of your body will follow by healing. Our goal as your Chiropractor is to realign the spinal column, affecting the body as a whole, thereby restoring you back to complete health. Our aim is to achieve this without the use of drugs or surgery.

We Can Serve You at Every Stage of Life as Your Chiropractor
Our training enables me to treat patients of every age. Spinal misalignment can occur at any time in life. This can even happen at birth because of pressure in the birth canal. Falls are a common occurrence as soon children begin to walk. Throughout the early development years a young body is subjected to many jolting experiences that are just a part of growing up. Sometimes these experiences can cause physical problems later in life. Children can benefit from a visit to the family chiropractor at a young age.
As an adult or senior citizen, you can benefit from chiropractic care as well. A visit to your Augusta chiropractor will be helpful in maintaining your mobility as you age.

As you work closely with me, your Augusta Chiropractor, we will aim to achieve our goal. Our goal is for you to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
