Chiropractors understand that one of the main causes of pain and disease is the misalignment and abnormal motion of the vertebrae in the spinal column called a subluxation. Chiropractic works by removing these subluxations in the spine, thereby relieving pressure and irritation on the nerves, restoring joint mobility, and returning the body back to a state of normal function.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments for back pain, neck pain, headaches, whiplash, sports injuries and many other types of musculoskeletal problems. It has even been shown to be effective in reducing high blood pressure, decreasing the frequency of childhood ear infections, and improving the symptoms of asthma. More and more scientific research is demonstrating the tremendous detrimental impact that subluxation have on the tissue of the body. In order to be truly healthy, it is vital that your nervous system be functioning free of interference from subluxations. Chiropractors are the only health professionals trained in the detection, location, and correction of the vertebral subluxation complex through chiropractic care.

The chiropractic adjustment is a quick thrust applied to a vertebra for the purpose of correcting its position, movement or both. Adjustments are often accompanied by an audible release of gas that sounds like a 'crack.' The sound sometimes shocks people a little bit the first couple times they get adjusted, but the sensation is usually relieving. Occasionally, minor discomfort is experienced, especially if the surrounding muscles are in spasm or the patient tenses up during the chiropractic procedure. There are times when the audible 'cracking' does not occur. This is often due to either significant muscle tightness or that the patient may be having a hard time relaxing during their adjustments.

In this section, you will find articles on chiropractic's history, how wellness and medical care differ, and what exactly is an "adjustment" is and how it's used in an chiropractor's office.

  • Wellness vs. Medical Care

    What's the main difference between wellness care and standard medical care?

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I first came to see Dr. Canzano about neck and back pain. Dr. Canzano came highly recommended from a wonderful friend of mine who was also a patient. I was in constant pain and had chronic headaches and migraines. I was also taking a lot of pain medication which was only masking my problems. Dr. Canzano's holistic approach to treatment has been a very positive and rewarding one for me. Her advice about diet, nutrition, and exercise has been invaluable to me.

    This is a very special practice -- more like good friends or family. It is a warm, friendly and peaceful place that nurtures the whole person -- mind, body and spirit. Shirl's healing hands and welcoming personality are a critical part of the practice. She is a gifted massage therapist with incredible skills and intuition.

    I have recommended many friends and family members and continue to do so. I honestly don't know what I would do without the care this practice provides."

  • "I came to see Dr. Canzano because of shoulder pain and headaches. I was experiencing decreased activity and concentration. After a few visits, my co-workers started commenting that I was smiling again! I feel better generally when I have regular adjustments."

Sometimes the adjustments give immediate relief. The nurturing, healing environment, the whole health counseling, massage and alternative healthcare give me whole body healing.

    Canzano Chiropractic offers me a holistic alternative to healthcare, giving myself and my body the assistance to heal. They care about the well being of their patients."
