The Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors are licensed healthcare professionals who primarily concentrate on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of spinal disorders and other mechanical conditions of the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic care places a strong emphasis on the body’s ability to heal itself without employing surgery, drugs, or other medical measures.

Patients often experience relief from a wide range of painful and dangerous symptoms by seeking quality chiropractic care. At Nebraska Family Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we address countless health and wellness issues using a variety of approaches. Read more about some of our specific services below.

More Info

The “classic” chiropractic treatment, manual adjustments are done by hand to perform a broad spectrum of coordinated contact movements.

Headache Relief

More Info

Headaches are extremely common and one of the main reasons people seek medical help. However, headaches are not normal.

A headache, like any pain you experience, is your body’s way of telling you that something is not right. Some headaches are the result of things like dehydration or improper diet. Others may be the symptom of poor posture, eye strain, hunger, excessive noise, daily stress or muscle strain to name a few. In rare cases, headaches can be attributed to organic conditions such as brain tumors or diabetes.
