According to Dorland's Medical Dictionary, the definition of HEALTH is "a state of optimal physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease and infirmity." Our goal at Jaffrey Chiropractic is to get people to that state as quickly as possible. Sometimes, using chiropractic healthcare can take a little longer to relieve pain because our aim and intention is to treat the cause of the pain rather than just eliminate your symptoms. The underlying cause in many cases is the vertebral subluxation complex and it will be the primary focus of our treatment. A subluxation is what occurs when spinal bones have lost their normal motion or position as a result of stress, trauma or other imbalances. Your body has an innate ability to restore its health, as long as the nervous system is functioning effectively. At times, the body becomes unable to adapt to life’s stressful moments. As a result your body can become restricted in its motion and the spine becomes misaligned, which in turn can cause an irritation of a spinal nerve.

Chiropractic seeks to correct these misalignments, restoring this vital brain-body exchange and thus allowing the body to regain its optimal functioning and vitality. Proper spinal health is a new concept for many people, so we are here to answer any questions you may have.

Chiropractic treatment can be effective for many situations and health conditions.

HEADACHES One cause of headaches can be from misaligned vertebrae in your neck that aren't supporting your head properly. This can affect nerves, muscles and even the blood supply to your head resulting in painful headaches.	NECK PAIN Your neck is the most vulnerable part of your spine. Not only does it support your 10 to 12 lb. head, maintain a gentle forward curve and permit head rotation, but it must also allow the free flow of nerve impulses to the rest of your body.	WHIPLASH Your head, momentarily isolated by your neck, delays its reaction while your body quickly reaches the limits of your seat. Unrestrained by a seat belt your head is jerked back and then forward beyond its normal limits.	BACK PAIN The nerve-rich facet joint on the back side of each spinal bone are a common cause of back pain. If these pairs of interlocking "fingers" aren't moving right, they can cause painful symptoms.
SCIATICA Those suffering from sciatica are often in their 30s to 50s. It usually begins as an acute pain in the lower back and then extends down the back of either leg. The pain usually worsens with long periods of sitting or standing.	SCOLIOSIS Scoliosis is tragic. It causes both physical pain and emotional suffering. This sideways bending of the spine shows up as abnormal posture and then finally, as a deformity.	DISC PROBLEMS A disc can thin, wedge, bulge, protrude, tear or herniate. Safe and natural chiropractic care can help restore normal size and shape to the disc.	PARENTS' GUIDE Children of all ages can benefit from chiropractic care. Their care is tailored to their age and weight. Their adjustments often require no more pressure than you'd use to test the ripeness of a tomato.
