| Each day, millions
of delighted patients choose chiropractic over drugs or surgery,
as a common sense approach to better health.
When the 24 bones
that protect the spinal cord lose their normal position or motion,
delicate nerve tissue can become choked or irritated. If a thorough
examination reveals malfunctioning areas of the spine, chiropractic
adjustments are recommended to help correct this condition.
A chiropractic adjustment
is the use of a specific force in a precise direction, applied
to a joint that is fixated, "locked up", or not moving
properly. Adjustments help return the bones to a more normal
position or motion, relieving pain and ill health.
There are hundreds
of ways to adjust the spine.
Usually the doctor's hands or a specially designed instrument
delivers a brief and highly accurate thrust. After years of
training, each doctor has selected a variety of methods and
become skilled in their delivery. Regardless of the technique
used, each chiropractic adjustment is tailored to the patient's
age, size, and unique spinal problem.

I consider myself
a very fit 32 year old man. I'm active in weight training, martial
arts, tennis, you name it. After I ruptured a disc in my cervical
spine in a fall, I couldn't do so much as one push-up. Several
neurosurgeons suggested I try physical rehabilitation prior
to surgery. I saw several chiropractors prior to Dr. Swain,
none of whom were able to help. I'm
one year out and feeling great. I thank Dr. Swain for his knowledge,
patience, and most of all, his good hands. I feel great. Thank
you.
