Chiropractic Care is the Key to Good Health

Paris Family Chiropractic & Acupuncture has been helping patients with chiropractic care since 2003.  Dr. Craig has over 29 years’ experience as a chiropractor, and it’s her goal not only to relieve your pain, but to restore optimal function to your body.

Chiropractic care works because you are self-healing, self-regulating organism controlled by your nervous system. Your brain sends signals to your body via the spinal cord and nerves. If there is improper position of the spinal vertebra—called a subluxation—this can interfere with this vital exchange of information. Specific chiropractic adjustments restore the communication between the brain and spinal cord thus restoring health.

Consultation


Dr. Craig will meet with you to discuss the reason you are seeking chiropractic care. Dr. Craig may ask questions regarding previous injuries, postural habits, types of  sports you enjoy, medication usage and results, diet, and repetitive stressors to determine if chiropractic is right for you. If Dr. Craig thinks your problem is outside of her expertise, she will let you know.

Examination 

After the consultation, the doctor will perform an examination. The examination will consist of height, weight and blood pressure, postural evaluation, range of motion, orthopedic and/or neurological testing, chiropractic examination, and digital X-rays (if necessary).

After completing the examination, your chiropractic treatment will begin. There are many different chiropractic methods, and at Paris Family Chiropractic we use the following:
