Our tagline is Conservative Care First! This is more than just a slogan, it's a chiropractic philosophy. It is our belief that while treatments such as surgeries, prescription drugs, and other invasive medical procedures are sometimes absolutely necessary, non-invasive treatments should always be used first.
If you got a paper cut on your finger you wouldn't ask your doctor for morphine and a hundred stitches right? The same is true for something like back pain. The majority of patients with back pain don't have a herniated disc. However, even patients with serious back pain and shooting leg pain coming from a significant herniated disc still DO NOT require surgery at least 94% of the time!
Chiropractic care is a natural, safe, and effective way of helping the body to heal. This includes healing from things like herniated discs. Our philosophy is the same for back pain, neck pain, rotator cuff strains, plantar fasciitis, bursitis of the hip, or sciatica... conservative care first!
