Chiropractic was founded Sept 18, 1895 by D.D. Palmer. He performed the first chiropractic adjustment on Harvey Lillard, a deaf janitor. Harvey said he had lost his hearing 17 years earlier when he bent over and heard a popping sound in his spine. D.D. Palmer had seen Harvey before, but on this day he noticed an unusual positioning of his upper cervical spine.
Curious, he convinced Harvey to lie down on a table for examination, and proceeded to move his hands over Harvey's spine. Stopping at the area in his neck, Palmer then applied force in an effort to move his spine back to a normal position, and a remarkable thing happened: Harvey's hearing had returned!

Chiropractic is a natural from of health care that uses spinal adjustments to correct misalignments and restore proper function to the nervous system, helping your body to heal naturally. Chiropractic doesn't use drugs or surgery.
In simplest terms, a subluxation a.k.a. Vertebral Subluxation) is when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out between each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves.
Think of the electrical system in your house. When a power surge stresses the system, a circuit breaker trips in your electrical panel located in your basement or garage to prevent your house from burning down. What if the circuit went to the refrigerator? The food inside will begin to spoil unless you get the power back.
On your first visit, an in depth confidential health exam will take place. The chiropractic exam will include: consultation, patient history, and physical examination.
During the physical examination we utilize a variety of methods to determine the spinal segments that require chiropractic care, including but not limited to static and motion palpation techniques determining spinal segments that are hypo mobile (restricted in their movement) or fixated.In addition, a thermal scan, which was designed by a NASA researcher, will be taken of your spine.

A Chiropractic adjustment is a procedure in which Chiropractors use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint. The goal of the chiropractic adjustment is to remove subluxations and improve the communication between your brain and the rest of your body so your body can heal and function the way it was designed to.

Dr. Sarah is wonderful! This was my first time going to a chiropractor, after getting into a car accident. She reviewed all of my x-rays with me in a way that I could actually understand, noting some previously unidentified scoliosis. Since then, I’ve been going twice monthly for adjustments. She is excellent at what she does and always thoroughly explains the techniques she is using. She’s helped me to become more aware of my posture and my spinal health. Thank you!
