The field of Chiropractic medicine has evolved greatly over the past few years. With this has come a growing acknowledgement that seeking pain relief from a chiropractor can be a great place to start. Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) can provide care for patients of all ages and health conditions. Chiropractic care focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous system and the effects of those disorders on overall health and lifestyles. What most people don’t realize is not only the range of conditions that they can treat, but the fact they can counsel patients on diet, nutrition, exercise, learning healthy habits and other lifestyle modifications.

REMEMBER
Doctors of Chiropractic may assess patients with a case history, clinical examination (orthopedic, neurologic and spinal), laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging (ie. x-rays/ MRI’s) and other diagnostic interventions to determine what chiropractic treatment is appropriate. Chiropractors will readily refer patients to the appropriate health care providers when chiropractic care is not suitable for the patient’s condition or the condition warrants co-management in conjunction with other members of the health care
