Family Chiropractic

The American Chiropractic Association defines Chiropractic as a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of functional disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, and the effects these disorders have on the function of the nervous system and general health. Treatment emphasis is on spinal manipulation or adjustments and other manual/soft tissue therapies.

Our Doctors treat individuals with neuromusculoskeletal complaints, such as headaches, joint paint, neck pain, low back pain, and sciatica. Dr. Petersen and Dr. Maristuen also treat patients with osteoarthritis, spinal disk conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, sprains, strains and much more.

Chiropractors are skilled at detecting misalignments in your spine. These misalignments irritate or put pressure on your nervous system, thus interfering with your nervous systems ability to function normally. Consequently, this will cause an imbalance in your body that can lead to common symptoms such as:
 - Aches & Pains
- Tension
- Stiffness
- Numbness & Tingling

With simple adjustments, misalignments in your spine can be corrected to relieve pressure on your nervous system. To offer more comprehensive care our doctors diagnose and treat soft tissue (muscle and ligaments) injuries. They believe that this comprehensive care allows our patients to reach maximum health benefits. Rather than focusing on symptoms, our doctors have a more natural approach to wellness that utilizes therapeutic techniques to remove nerve interference and soft tissue injuries to promote the body's natural healing ability. Optimal health is dependent on a property functional nervous system. Therefore, evaluating the integrity of the nervous system is where relief from aches and pains begins.

Chiropractic is for the whole family. It is very common for children to develop dysfunction in their spine and soft tissue injuries. These problems can arise from the birthing process, falls, sports injuries, and repetitive stressors on the body. Our doctors believe that chiropractic care can help your family keep up with the speed of life.
