What is health?

Many years ago health and being healthy was defined as lack of diseases.  However, in modern Public Health it is a "health puzzle" whose pieces are physical health, mental health, spiritual health, social health, and so on.  Another important issue here is your role.  Your body has a phenomenal ability to heal itself in coordination with your mind, and you are in charge of your health.  All healthcare professionals such as medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors, physiotherapists, psychotherapist, optometrist are there to help you to maintain your health and to help you stay healthy.

Role of chiropractic in your "health puzzle"

Chiropractors are dedicated to helping you solve your own "health puzzle", naturally.  Chiropractic treatments are not meant to replace services offered by your family physician for ongoing, routine health problems.  However, they are designed to give you an integrated picture of your health.  We work closely with other healthcare professionals to show you how all the pieces of your "health puzzle" fit together.  

Most of chiropractors utilize manual therapy, physical therapy modalities (exercise therapy, electrotherapy/ultrasound, and low level laser light), acupuncture, and custom-made foot orthotics, to help patients with a wide variety of musculoskeletal canditions and other health concerns.  They are  specialized in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, work related injuries, auto injuries, and sports injuries. Their approach to health is based on natural methods of healthcare without using drugs or surgery.  They focus on treating the causes of physical problems, rather than just the symptoms.  With a normally functioning structure and a healthy mind and lifestyle, your body is better able to heal itself.
