There is a lot of misinformation out there about chiropractic care. Chiropractors are medical professionals that are trained in treating spinal subluxations, which are slight misalignments of the spine. These subluxations, left uncorrected, can lead to a host of medical issues, including back and neck pain, headaches, inflammation, arthritis and more. Like medical doctors, a chiropractor earns an advanced degree, completes a residency program and must be licensed by the state in which he or she practices. Contrary to what some people believe, a chiropractor works closely with your medical doctor to help you live pain-free.

Chiropractic Care at North County Family Chiropractic

At our Carmel Mountain area clinic, we feature the most advanced and up-to-date spinal correction chiropractic techniques. Such techniques are virtually painless and more effective than ever. Multiple, short sessions are generally needed to treat most back and neck pain, followed by less frequent followup appointments. We understand that your schedule is busy, so we offer early evening appointments three days a week in addition to our regular business hours.

Our chiropractors augment chiropractic care with a total wellness approach to good health. We teach you corrective exercises that you can do at home to strengthen the muscles that support your neck and spine. We offer nutrition advice for weight loss and to reduce inflammation from such conditions as arthritis. We also coach you on small lifestyle issues, like the shoes you wear or the type of office chair you use, that can impact the way you feel. We also offer massage and physical therapy.
