“Chiropractic is the most natural way to
both restore and maintain health. When nerves experience interference,
your body cannot perform at its optimal level. Chiropractors adjust
the spine to remove this interference.”
Dr. Catherine Toplansky, D.C.

Chiropractic treatment is not a traditional “cure,” but
rather a means to help the body to cure itself by restoring the correct
alignment of the spine. It has become the largest drugless healthcare
profession in the world and has helped millions of people.
The chiropractic model of health is centered on the philosophy that
the human body, being knit together in a wonderful way, will heal itself
given the right opportunity and circumstances.
Compared to traditional medical treatment, Chiropractic:
- Is more effective and longer lasting
- Has a higher rate of patient satisfaction
- Has less risk of side effects
What to expect on your first visits:
Consultation:
Doctors of Chiropractic are interested in trying to completely understand
your health condition. You will be asked questions related to how your
condition started, what are the symptoms and what makes your symptoms
better or worse.
Physical Examination:
This will follow your consultation by the Chiropractor. This may or
may not lead to services such as x-rays, blood work or other diagnostic
testing.
Report of Findings: Upon
completion of the physical examination an assessment of your condition
will be given to you in what is known as a Report of Findings (R.O.F.).
During the ROF the doctor will discuss your diagnosis and your treatment
plan, including the number and duration of visits.
When do you need a chiropractor?
"The purpose of the chiropractic approach to healthcare (the
wellness model) is to uncover the cause of your health condition,
not merely cover up your symptoms. The absence of symptoms (pain)
does not equal good heath! The clearest way to illustrate this is
by reviewing the statistics on heart attacks. Research reveals that
in approximately 33% of all heart attacks the first symptom of the
attack is death!
"Wellness care encompasses several aspects of overall health,
which can be physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.”
-- Chiropractic Fitness and Wellness Magazine
Stress
Stress has been with us since the beginning of time. Today,
the stress of careers, deadlines, conflicts, and the demands on our
time and money, take a huge toll on our health.
Just as a chain tends to break at its weakest link, we seem to exhibit
stress and strain in the weakest areas of our bodies. For some it is
an upset stomach. For others, recurring headaches, back pain or muscle
stiffness. Still others respond with nervous twitches, allergic reactions,
or sensitivities to chemicals.
It may not be possible to remove the stress from a busy life. However,
with the help of your chiropractic doctor, you can respond better to
the unique challenges you face.
7 Ways to Chase Away Stress
-
To help relax, take deep breaths, pray or
meditate. Relaxation lowers blood pressure, respiration, releases
muscle tension.
-
Keeping a sense of humor during difficult
situations is an effective mechanism for stress management.
-
Try to find exciting, challenging, and satisfying
forms of exercise that are convenient. For example, brisk
walking or swimming.
-
Leave work on time and try not to bring work
home. Keeping a separation between your professional and personal
life is essential to managing stress.
-
Lower demands you put on yourself. Make realistic
goals that give you the opportunity to succeed.
-
Take care of taxing tasks in the morning
to get them out of the way.
-
Look at large projects as a series of steps
to complete one by one.
