Chiropractic is the science which concerns itself with the relationship between structure, primarily the spine, and function, primarily the nervous system, of the human body as that relationship may affect restoration and preservation of health. Chiropractic is a drugless health care method of relieving pain and restoring health. Chiropractic doctors balance the body through specific movements of the spine (called a chiropractic adjustment) and assist the body to heal naturally by recommending good body mechanics, exercise, good diet, supplementation, and by using the modalities of heat, cold, light and electric.

Chiropractic works through restoring the normal function of the spine (and other) joints of the body and allowing the body's natural healing processes to take effect. In essence, we remove the restrictions to healing. Chiropractic is a health care system which involves correcting misaligned joints in the spine, to restore normal nerve function to the body which allows healing. In addition to correcting the spine, chiropractors should give you corrective stretches and strengthening exercises to stabilize the spine.

Chiropractic can help with conditions such as:
headaches
neck pain/stiffness
arm pain/numbness
upper back pain/stiffness
shoulder pain
postural problems
lower back pain/stiffness
muscle spasms
sciatica
leg pain/numbness
poor circulation
carpal tunnel
hip pain
asthma and allergies
scoliosis
muscle weakness

Chiropractors do not need to give medicine to restore health. They know that nature provides each person with a built-in doctor that can prescribe the exact hormones, enzymes and antibiotics that your body needs.

Today’s pain killers are designed to mask the symptoms of pain which can inhibit your body from working to deal with the problem. Chiropractic works in conjunction with the body to correct the cause of the pain, not the symptom. 

If you are involved in an automobile accident or other type of accident that causes immediate pain or immobility, seek treatment immediately. If the injuries are treated within the first 5-7 days with chiropractic care then the healing process is greatly accelerated. If other treatment is necessary, your chiropractic doctor can refer you to a specialist.

Yes. Over 250 million people each year suffering from all types of ailments, not just neck and back pain, receive services from chiropractors. Dr. Ehrlich treats patients from infants to elderly.

Scientific research studies have proven that chiropractic is natural and effective in treating neck and back pain. Chiropractic helps with flexibility, increased nerve supply to all areas of the body, decreases stress and muscle tension and improves spinal integrity and stability.

You have probably heard that once you start going to a chiropractor you have to keep coming back. Before we answer that, ask yourself how many times you have visited the dentist. The answer is probably dozens, reason being to PREVENT your teeth from rotting.

Once we have eliminated your pain and we have corrected the original cause of your pain, we do recommend that you keep regular maintenance check-ups. We provide you with a complete stretching and strengthening program so your spine is more stable than before you started your treatments. With these you will be able to hold your spinal adjustments better, and have the knowledge of preventing future outbreaks.

So the answer is yes, we suggest that you keep a regular chiropractic maintenance schedule. This assures that your spine is in top shape as you apply the stresses of daily life to your body. It's always reassuring that you know your not going to injure yourself picking up a piece of paper because your spine is well adjusted.

Chiropractic is extremely safe for all individuals when done by a qualified professional. Some people may have conditions which may alter the technique used to treat the patient. These are identified through a thorough history, screening and examination. The treatments are natural and non-invasive. Research consistently shows that chiropractic care is among the safest health care available.

The treatments are generally painless. Most people look forward to them because they experience immediate relief and relaxation. Treatment is always gentle and tailored to your comfort levels.

Chiropractic doctors are not classified as primary care by definition. However, patients can come to us directly for care, without being referred by any other physician. Chiropractic doctors also frequently work in conjunction with other doctors and medical professionals that a patient might need.
