1. Prevention is better than cure

Our Amherst chiropractor can minimize stress and effectively correct desk job injury, repetitive movement injury, or sports-related problems with preventative and non-invasive techniques.

Our muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones are the most common targets for disability in people over 50. Even minor injury to any of the above can keep you from living an active and full life.

Don’t be like the majority and wait until you are in chronic pain before you act. Think of discomfort in your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones like a toothache. Get them fixed before they get worse and prevent any further pain.

2. Education

Doctors, dentists, optometrists, and chiropractors are all licensed, but chiropractors are formally educated in the focused examination and diagnosis of the entire human body. Amherst chiropractic doctors have basic science training similar to medical or osteopathic doctors - including studies in anatomy, physiology, and pathology - but the difference in focus is what is important.

3. Safe

Everybody is eligible for safe and effective chiropractic care. Athletes, pregnant women, individuals with physical disabilities, and children can all benefit from chiropractic care. The safety of chiropractic care has been supported by reams of scientific evidence.
