What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Alexandria chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.

Congenital Muscular Torticollis

Torticollis

Each year about two percent of newborns are born with congenital torticollis. Torticollis, also known as wry neck, is commonly thought to occur from trauma during the birth process. The characteristic twisted or tilted neck impairs normal growth and development.

Surgery has been the traditional treatment, actually cutting neck muscles, nerves and tendons, followed by intensive physical therapy.

Successful correction of torticollis by means of chiropractic care for has been documented in the Journal of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics.

A series of chiropractic adjustments, trigger point therapy, stretches, pillow positioning and exercises were administered. The results? In a word: excellent. Without drugs or surgery.

Clearly, chiropractic care can be helpful to the health and maintenance of your child's spine and nervous system.
