Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses optimizing the function of the nervous system and reducing the effects of stress on your health.

Chiropractors practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, and nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling. |
How can chiropractic help my nervous system work better?
- The body is a self-healing and self-regulating organism.
- The nerve system controls and coordinates all of the functions in the body.
- Any interference with the nerve system inhibits the body's ability to regulate and heal itself.
- Interference to the nerve system is called a "Subluxation".
- Subluxations are caused by stress, poor nutrition, lack of exercise, poor sleep habits, poor posture, the birth process, and injuries, etc.
- Chiropractors correct the subluxations by performing what is called an "Adjustment".
- Adjustments open up the nerve pathways and allow the nervous system to function better
- Maintaining a healthy and well functioning nervous system enhances the body's ability to get well and stay well.
What should I expect on my first visit?
At Dobrich Chiropractic & Wellness Center, patients may be evaluated through a thorough history, clinical examination, laboratory testing, and computerized spine and nerve scans to determine an appropriate treatment plan.
What if Chiropractic Care is not what I need?
If necessary, Dr. Dobrich will readily refer patients to the appropriate health care provider when chiropractic care is not suitable for the patient's condition, or the condition warrants co-management in conjunction with other members of the health care team.
Should chiropractic care continue even after I feel fine? Chiropractors are trained to detect problem areas in your spine and nervous system before they develop into problem conditions or symptoms. Keep in mind that one must lose 80% function in any area of the body before symptoms begin to occur. Regular adjustments help to maintain or support a healthy spine and nervous system. Wellness care programs can effectively help to prevent problem from returning or occurring in the first place . However, how you choose to use chiropractic care is ultimately up to you. If your spine wears out, there is no solution. Because your spine directly influences the function of your nervous system, spinal decay permanently damages the nerves and spinal cord. Nearly everyone flosses and brushes their teeth even though their teeth don't hurt. Spinal adjustments are like flossing the spine. Lifetime care of the spine should be a priority for everyone in Harrisburg!
