About Us
Finding a Doctor of Chiropractic is easy. Finding the right doctor for you, as with any other important relationship, may take a bit more effort than simply choosing any doctor at random. You should take comfort in the fact that the doctor you choose has stringent professional and educational standards for state licensing, assuring academic competence and clinical expertise.

Doctors of Chiropractic are physicians who consider the body an integrated system with an in born ability to heal itself. Chiropractic is a health care field that concerns itself with treating health problems by normalizing body structure, alignment, joint motion, and therefore, the nerve function. When the body is aligned, the nervous system is able to communicate messages to and from the brain, which enables the body to heal itself. When the body is not properly aligned, subluxations [bones out of the right position that irritate nerves] can form, causing ailments both to the nervous system as well as the muscles, organs, systems, tissues and cells connected to it. The correction of the subluxations, via adjustments [putting the bone in the correct position to relieve the nerve irritation], allows the pain to go away and the body to heal. Keeping the joint and nerve function normal avoids many problems.
Chiropractic is drug-free, non-surgical, cost-effective treatment for a wide range of conditions. Chiropractic is excellent for promoting good health and wellness. Each individual is considered unique. We suit your adjustment from normal adjustments to light adjustments to meet your body's needs. The normal examination, by appointment, includes spinal, scoliosis, postural, range of motion, neurological, orthopedic and kinesiological examinations. We have a modern x-ray facility that utilizes all the newest technology for the highest quality pictures with the lowest patient x-ray exposure. At the Family Chiropractic Clinic of Hillsborough, we care about you as a total person. We take a holistic approach to your care. We treat your whole body as well as all your symptoms. We also teach you rehabilitative exercises and daily activities that affect your health. The holistic health approach to wellness includes positive mental attitude and stress reduction. Maintaining wellness care will give your body the maximum ability to resist disease and injury. Maintaining wellness gives you the best quality of life.
We always offer a consultation, by appointment, to discuss your case and determine if it is a chiropractic case. Remember, we accept only those cases we feel chiropractic can help. If we cannot help you, we refer you to a specialist that can best serve your needs. It is our policy to deliver to you the highest quality care at the most affordable fee. We accept credit cards, cash or checks. We also accept assignment on qualified insurance policies. Give us your policy information when making your appointment or on your arrival, and we will determine your exact coverage.
