The word "chiropractic" comes from the Greek words cheir (hand) and praxis (action) and literally means "done by hand." Instead of prescribing drugs or performing surgeries, chiropractors use manual treatments of the spine and joints, along with therapies and lifestyle changes to allow the body's natural state of health to fully express itself. Here are some of the manipulation techniques you may come across at a chiropractic office.

Testimonials
Reviews By Our Satisfied Clients
"I have been a patient at this practice for many, many years. About two years ago I moved out of the state. I've tried and tried to find a new chiropractor that even comes close to helping me manage my pain like Dr. Adamson did, unsuccessfully. Instead, I drive the 4 hours back to this office as often as I can, because he is the only doctor who has been able to help me feel better and THAT is worth the drive. He is kind, always takes time for his patients, pays attention to their changing needs, and is never 'too busy' for his patients. You won't ever feel rushed or like 'the next person in line' at this office!"
