FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Chiropractic is an all ­natural form of health care that is based on the diagnosis and correction of joint misalignment, especially those within the spinal column. These misalignments are often the cause of deeper underlying concerns in patients such as nerve and muscle pain and, in more serious cases, cell, organ and tissue dysfunction.

Chiropractic treatment is a proven method to affect overall nervous system function and wellness, without the need for invasive procedure or medications. Through correct alignment of the spine, it grants the nervous system the ability to reach its fullest potential, every member of the family can achieve optimal health and wellness.

There are countless benefits to chiropractic care. Chiropractic care can be the solution to headaches, neck pain, back pain, overall pain relief, stiffness and other ongoing issues that have been bothering you for years. Whether the cause is from poor posture, an accident, genetics or other factors, chiropractic can help address the issues and relieve pain and discomfort for everyone in the Jacksonville community. For example, that persistent, recurring pain in your extremities or low back pain might actually be caused by an issue in the spine.
