What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic cares for your neuromusculoskeletal system by using manual spinal manipulation to restore and maintain good movement in your spine and reduce nerve interference to your brain. Chiropractors focus on the causes of pain rather than the symptoms, and the body’s ability to heal itself when it is free from interference. It is natural and drug free. The word “chiropractic” comes from the Greek word cheir (hand) and praktikos (done), which literally means “done by hand”.
At Connect Spinal Health, we seek to understand why you’re getting symptoms and what those symptoms tell us about the problem you’re experiencing.
The goal of your body is to adapt to the stresses and challenges of your life but still allow you to thrive. However, the stress of modern life can take its toll on your body which often leads to symptoms such as pain. Pain is never normal. It’s a sign that something isn’t connecting or functioning properly in your body. These symptoms can reduce your chance of functioning optimally.
Examining the Brain-Nervous System Connection
Your nervous system (primarily the brain and spinal cord) is central to how your body functions – how you move, think, feel, heal, breathe, digest, respond to stress, immune system resilience etc. If there is interference to how your nervous system operates, then your body can’t function optimally.
Everything in your body is connected. You’ll hear us say this regularly in clinic.
As Chiropractors we are trained to locate and help remove interference to your nervous system. We do this by gentle chiropractic adjustments, primarily of your spine. This improves the connection between your brain and your body, allowing your body to function better and start to heal naturally.
When your body is free from interference and connected, it can start to restore itself to optimum function which will improve how you respond to the challenges of daily life.
Determining the Underlying Problem
We use primarily manual techniques but also a mix of instrument adjusting and drop piece adjusting.

Your Journey to Better Health
Healing takes time. Healing occurs from the repetition of making healthier options over and over. The same is true with chiropractic. During the first few weeks of care you’ll be seen frequently as we try to get your joint function improving. Your chiropractor will walk you through every adjustment, so you know what to expect. Our desire is to provide care that will get you results as quickly as possible.
As you begin to improve we can decrease your frequency of care. As everyone is different, length of care will vary from person to person. How long you wish to benefit from Chiropractic care is always up to you.
