The word "chiropractic" comes from the Greek words cheir (hand) and praxis (action) and literally means "done by hand." Instead of prescribing drugs or performing surgeries, chiropractors use manual treatments of the spine and joints, along with therapies and lifestyle changes to allow the body's natural state of health to fully express itself. Here are some of the manipulation techniques you may come across at a chiropractic office.

Scar tissue restricts the tissues from moving freely because they bind them and tie them

Reviews By Our Satisfied Clients
"Dr. Troise's technique is both gentle and highly effective. I felt immediate results after the first visit, and I continue to see improvements in my health and wellness with regular care. I am an active person in my late 40s, and Dr. Troise's care is helping me avoid injuries and recover quickly from the aches and pains of strenuous exercise."
