How Can Chiropractic Care Help You?
Many people dismiss chiropractic as being something only for back pain, but chiropractic treatment can be used to treat a wide variety of physical issues, such as migraines and headaches, chronic pain, carpal tunnel, pain due to injury or muscle strain, and much more.
If given the opportunity, the body can heal itself by combining the very best hands-on-technique and therapeutic massage, under the care of our caring and skilled chiropractor, patients report higher functioning in all areas of their lives. The roadblocks to healing must be identified and then overcome.
The Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Dr. Abella-Desuyo has gravitated to an integrative approach to care with an emphasis on adjusting, muscle testing, and muscle work that are all targeted to the root of the problem. She believes that her job is not only to help people heal but to also give them the necessary tools and knowledge they need to empower themselves into feeling even better than they did pre-injury. She enjoys and appreciates having the ability to play a role in helping people heal and feel better to allow them to achieve the best version of themselves and maintain a healthy, optimal, and happy lifestyle.
The History of Chiropractic Care
The word “Chiropractic” is derived from the Greek words “cheir” (hand) and “praktos” (done) combined to mean “done by hand.” It was chosen by the developer of chiropractic care, Daniel David Palmer. In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, who later reported that his hearing had improved due to the change.
D.D. Palmer opened the first chiropractic school two years later, and in the century since, chiropractic professionals have used spinal adjustments to help people prevent and cope with back pain, carpal tunnel, muscle strain, headaches and migraines, and a variety of other physical ailments. Millions of people benefit from the work of Dr. Palmer today.
"You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking."

"While other professions are concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body, chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit the environment."
