Frequently Asked Questions
What is Principled Chiropractic Care?
Principled Chiropractic Care is a healthcare philosophy centered on the idea that the body has a natural ability to heal itself. This approach doesn’t just treat symptoms, it focuses on correcting the root cause of health issues, which are often believed to be misalignments in the spine or vertebral subluxations.
What is a Vertebral Subluxation?
We use the term vertebral subluxation to describe when a spinal bone, or vertebra, is misaligned or slightly out of place. We believe this misalignment can put pressure on nearby nerves, disrupting the signals between your brain and body. This concept is a core part of our chiropractic philosophy, as we believe these disruptions can contribute to various health problems, not just back pain.
What makes Neurologically-Based Chiropractic Care different?
Neurologically-based chiropractic care is a specialized approach that focuses on the intricate connection between your spine and your entire nervous system. Rather than just targeting symptoms like back pain, this method is centered on optimizing the communication between your brain and body, which is the key to true health.
Your spinal cord, which is protected by your vertebrae, is the superhighway of information between your brain and every cell, organ, and tissue in your body. When a spinal bone is even slightly out of alignment, it can create interference or “static” on this communication pathway. This interference can disrupt the clear signals your brain sends to the rest of your body, which may lead to dysfunction and eventually, symptoms.
Our primary goal is to remove that interference through precise and gentle adjustments. When the nervous system can communicate freely and without disruption, your body’s remarkable ability to self-regulate, heal, and function at its best is restored. The focus is on allowing your body to naturally resolve the underlying cause of a problem, not just cover up the symptoms with a temporary fix.
Why does technology matter in chiropractic care?
Our approach to chiropractic care is built on a foundation of precision and evidence. We use advanced scans and structural analysis to get a clear and objective picture of your spinal health. This isn’t about guesswork or a one-size-fits-all approach.
These detailed scans allow us to see exactly how your nervous system is functioning and where any interference might be located. By analyzing your spinal structure with this level of detail, we can develop a precise, customized care plan for you. This data also allows us to objectively measure your progress over time, so we can ensure that your care is not only effective but also helping you achieve clear, measurable results on your journey to better health.
Is chiropractic care always forceful or cracking?

We do not use the forceful, aggressive twisting and cracking methods that can feel intimidating.
