The Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, (460 -377 B.C.) was the first physician to link spinal misalignments with ill health. He advised his students to "get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases". Chiropractic is still considered an "alternative" therapy by many but in actual fact, it is becoming widespread and mainstream. More people visit their Doctor of Chiropractic with their back pain and headaches each year. The public is also learning the benefits of chiropractic for their other ills: by treating the spine, any nerve interference is removed. This allows the body to function at its premium. Some of the other conditions frequently treated in our clinic include pregnancy- related back pain, colic, bedwetting, jaw pain, heartburn, and migraines, just to name a few.
