Chiropractic: ( kI-ra-prak-tik) - a specialized form of healthcare that focuses on maximizing the health of the spine and nervous system.

When the spine is exposed to abnormal force, including trauma (accidents, falls, injuries, etc.) or stress, the spinal bones may shift out of place causing pressure on delicate nerves. The result of this type of injury is a spinal condition called a subluxation. The spinal nerves not only supply the muscles, bones and joints of the body, but also supply our vital organs as well. Because the spinal nerves travel through an opening between the bones of the spine (called vertebrae), an abnormal alignment can result in "nerve pressure". This nerve pressure often causes pain or a number of other health problems. Delaying care could worsen pre-existing conditions.

My job as your chiropractor is to detect any areas of the spine that have "nerve pressure."

Re-alignment of the areas with nerve pressure improves the functionality of your nervous system. By reducing or eliminating this pressure the healing of the nerves and restoration of normal joint motion is promoted. This technique eases the pressure on the discs (the spacers between the bones) and spinal bones and reduces the likelihood of disc degeneration or arthritis in the spine. Chiropractic care may slow the progression of .disc degeneration or arthritis that a patient already has.

Our methods for re-aligning the spine, also referred to as an "adjustment", is a key factor in why clients choose Schneider Chiropractic.

Dr. Schneider is skilled and experienced in the "hands-on" approach to chiropractic care used by many Chiropractic Doctors. However, Dr. Schneider specializes in more recently developed advanced methods of Chiropractic care. Patients are often referred to Schneider Chiropractic due to the results the newer methods offer.
