How Our Practice Works

Chiropractic care is different from medical treatment—not superior or inferior, different. The Doctor of Chiropractic does not treat pain or disease but takes a different approach addressing basic underlying causes. When physical, chemical, & mental/emotional stresses overload your spinal & nervous system’s functions, this can affect a myriad of your body functions resulting in symptoms of pain, discomfort & ill health. Most people recognize neck & back pains as common effects of spinal & nervous system dysfunctions, but do not realize all your body functions can be affected by overloading your spine & nervous system. When this happens the Doctor of Chiropractic calls this Vertebral Subluxation (V.S.).

Chiropractic care is primarily focused on administering spinal adjustments. These adjustments are intended to unlock V.S. relieving nervous system interferences allowing your body to rebalance & heal. No other health practitioner is trained to perform this unique service.

There is no greater advantage that you could offer your body than correcting V.S.. Each adjustment builds on the one before creating the momentum necessary to establish & maintain stability minimizing relapse. You may find unwanted conditions that have been with you for a while gradually diminish until they no longer exist. That’s a lot to take in, however this explains why chiropractic patients report improvement in various body functions & their overall health.

It is natural for you to feel good & experience health & wellbeing. When you are experiencing pain, discomfort or ill health, your body is telling you limits have been reached or changes need to be made. Your body is comprised of trillions of cells that make up your tissues, organs & systems. Your body functions are monitored & coordinated by your nervous system. Your body has an innate intelligence (life force) which directed your body’s development in the beginning from one cell over the next 9 months & is still there guiding every function in your body (immunity, heartbeat, breathing, digestion, healing etc.) thru your nervous system.

The frequency of your care depends on your body’s condition, age, vitality, & the physical (traumas), chemical (medicines, nutritional) & mental (emotional) baggage in your life.

 It is up to you how much care you want. As with any recommended health care, it is your body & your right to follow recommendations or not. Many people come to experience that they handle their stress better, have more vitality, stay healthier & pain free with regular chiropractic care. We respect your decision in how you choose to utilize our care. So, if you decide you’ve had enough chiropractic care, don’t just fade away, let me know so we can celebrate your results & send you on your way. Our door will always be open when you decide you need more care.

How We’re Different

At Handly Chiropractic Clinic we use a highly effective specialized adjusting approach with no twisting or popping of the neck and back. Our goal is to reduce nervous system interference, relieve  pain, discomfort & ill health.

The Activator Method is one of the most widely researched chiropractic techniques. It’s the only instrument adjusting technique with clinical research to support its results.

After making manual adjustments for 40 years, once I received “Advanced Certification” in using the Activator Protocols & Instrument, I found problems previously missed and produced faster, longer lasting results for my patients. It’s also helpful for adjusting ribs, shoulders, extremities, as well as for adjusting young children.
