Here at Uptown Chiropractic, what comes first and foremost is the practice of chiropractic.  Chiropractors practice natural, drugless, non-invasive health care and rely on the body's ability to self-heal.  Unlike medical doctors who treat symptoms as they appear, chiropractors evaluate the patient in order to find the cause of the problem.  The cause is usually known as a subluxation, which is a structural imbalance in the vertebral or spinal column.  A subluxation may appear well before symptoms do, and can be identified through a thorough chiropractic evaluation.  At the conclusion of this evaluation, the chiropractor will know the cause of a patient's ailment, and can then proceed to correct the cause with a regimen of chiropractic care.
