Eventually, joints can become stuck or out of alignment, nerves can become pinched, and muscles spasm or weaken causing pain and stiffness.

Chiropractic care is effective in eliminating muscle and joint pain, while improving flexibility of the joints and soft tissues. Also, Chiropractors can improve athletic performance, reduce disability , and prevent injuries from occurring.
