What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a non-drug treatment for aches and pains caused by musculoskeletal problems, including joint sprains and disc injuries. Your nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ, and system in your body though your brain, spinal cord, and nerves. When any bone in your body, most often your spinal vertebrae, subluxates (sub = less than, luxate/luxation = dislocation, or sticks in the wrong position = fixates) and stays out of place, your brain says “no motion is better than abnormal motion” and tightens up all the muscles that control that bone or vertebrae. These spasmed muscles apply pressure to the nerves exiting the spinal cord choking and garbling the information being passed to and from the brain and body. Chiropractic works to find, evaluate, and remove these subluxations, allowing free exchange of information throughout the nervous system. When your nervous system is working at 100%, your body works at 100%, you feel better, and you perform better.

Can Chiropractic help you?

Pain of any kind, at any age, is a sign that something isn’t right. Pain is the way your body signals that a limit has been reached or a problem has developed. Pain is the last sign that is expressed by your body to tell you that something is wrong, and the first sign to be relieved when we start treating your problem area.

Many people think that just because they have been experiencing aches and pains for many weeks or years that there is no hope for them. Or maybe they have been to the doctor or to the therapist and are still having pain, many think that there is nothing that can be done for them.
Here at Vision Quest Chiropractic we take your past health history, we perform a complete Chiropractic, Neurological, and Orthopedic examination, order x-rays or other tests if determined they are needed, after which we evaluate all findings, and make a informed diagnosis based on all the accumulated information. Once a diagnosis is established, we sit down with you explaining what was found and diagnosed, together we lay out a plan of action that will treat the effected area and also fit into your busy schedule. If we can’t help you, we’ll tell you, and when possible, we’ll get you to someone that can help you.
Who needs Chiropractic?

We think that everybody deserves to live life happy, healthy, and productive. Whether you are young or have been around a few years, we believe your best chance, for the best life, is one that includes regular Chiropractic adjustments. Keeping your body functioning at 100% is what Chiropractic is all about. If your body is functioning at 100%, you can do what you want, when you want, without worrying how it will affect how you feel tomorrow.

Most, if not all, professional athletes rely on regular Chiropractic adjustments to keep their performance at 100%. They know that when their body is functioning at 100%, they feel better, they perform better, they heal better, and they recover faster from training or competition.
