Chiropratic Care

“The Power that created the body heals the body,
 it happens no other way!”

Welcome to Skaggs Chiropractic, LLC. We are your "drug free and surgery free solution to painful problems."   We believe in the body's innate intelligence to heal itself.  By looking at this website, you've taken the first step toward becoming one of the millions of Americans that have found relief through chiropractic care, the natural and effective way to treat the body and promote health care. Chiropractic physicians are highly trained doctors that specialized in the science of the function of the spinal column, the bodies musculature structures and the nervous system.  Pain is a signal from the body to the brain that something is wrong.  We do not treat the symptom, we search for the cause of the pain.  We view the patient as an integrated being and focus on the spinal health as the key to overall health and wellness. 

The brain is connected to every cell, tissue, and organ in the entire body, to this there is no exception. The spinal column and the skull naturally protect the soft and delicate tissue of the central nervous system from damage.  Periodically, where the nerves exit the spinal column, these delicate nerves can be pinched off and irritated,  affecting everything that the nerve is connected to such as the heart, liver, lungs, muscles, hands and feet. The pinching of these nerves is most commonly caused by a misalignment of one or more of the 24 vertebra in the spinal column. Automobile accidents, trauma, stress, poor posture, sports injuries and other causes can create these misalignments, which immediately or over time migrate into the symptoms causing headaches, migraines, back and neck pain. You can also experience pain, numbness, burning, tingling, and weaknesses in the shoulders, arms, hands, hips, legs, and feet.  Remember each of these parts must have their communication line to the brain.

Chiropractors for more than a hundred years have been correcting spinal misalignments and removing interference from the central nervous system, which yield these painful symptoms. This allows the bodies natural innate intelligence to heal the body. Medication such as muscle relaxers and pain killers only temporarily mask or cover up the symptoms caused by these spinal misalignments.

Chiropractic (ki-ro-prak-tic) Greek: Meaning the practice of treatment by the hand. Chiropractic is the second largest healing profession in the world today and could possibly be the doctor of the future which Thomas Edison related to so many years ago.  Chiropractic is based on a simple but powerful premise: With a normal functioning spine and a healthy lifestyle, your body is better able to heal itself.  The primary tool of a chiropractor is spinal manipulation in which pressure is applied to an area of the spine having a dysfunctional joint (subluxation).  The result is reduced pain and inflammation and the removal of pressure which was on a nerve. Chiropractic is the only profession dedicated to the detection and correction of Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VCS).

Chiropractic doesn’t cure anything, you do!
