Chiropractic is the science, art & philosophy of locating & correcting vertebral subluxations through gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments thus allowing your body to function at its optimum potential.

A misalignment of one or more of your spinal bones (vertebrae), which causes interference to your nervous system. If your nervous system is interfered with, your body's natural ability to heal itself & function at its optimum potential becomes impaired. A subluxation is a perfect example of how structure effects function.

A gentle, specific "thrust" delivered by hand or instrument. The purpose of the adjustment is to correct your spinal subluxation(s) thus removing the nerve interference in your body.

No. Chiropractic adjustments feel great. I am confident that once you begin receiving your adjustments, you will begin to look forward to them. They will become one of the highlights of your week. When you allow the vertebrae in your spine to return to their proper position, you will notice much less stress and tension.

Yes. Statistics prove that chiropractic care is one of the safest types of healthcare in the world. You only need to compare the malpractice premiums paid by chiropractors to those paid by medical doctors. Doctors of Chiropractic pay only a small fraction (approx. 1/20) of the price medical doctors pay in malpractice premiums. 250,000 people will die this year as a result of bad medicine, making this the third leading cause of death in the United States of America (The Journal of The American Medical Association, JAMA; Vol.284, July 26, 2000). Of the millions of people receiving chiropractic adjustments, each year, only a handful will even make a complaint.

The birth process is often the cause of your child's first subluxation. A very soft and undeveloped spine of an infant can suffer trauma during delivery. It is estimated that as much as 80lbs of pulling pressure can be exerted to remove a baby from the birth canal. Then, as children grow up and become more adventurous, the number of injuries to their spines become countless. The repeated falls as children learn to walk, the running, jumping, twisting, bumping and falling all over the place while playing in the yard or on an athletic field will often cause your child to become subluxated. However, often children do not show any signs or symptoms of being subluxated until later on in life. Chiropractic care offers your child a more responsive body, a more balanced flow of energy and overall increased performance as she/he passes through their windows of development. A subluxation free child also minimizes the risk of future health challenges.

Dr. Egan will determine which technique will most comfortably and effectively help your body.

The adjusting table raises and lowers and will allow her the optimal position to perform the treatment. She uses a combination of gentle hands on adjustments called Diversified, Drop Table, Activator, and Craniosacral release.

Some patients also receive other treatments to aid in healing such as ultrasound, infrared light, deep pressure point massage and scar tissue breakdown using a tool called Rapid Relief Technique.

Children are treated very gently using hands-on craniosacral adjustments and light manipulation.

Chiropractic is helpful for spasm, headache, neck and back ache. Adjustments can also help the extremities. Your shoulder, knee, wrist injuries will heal better with an adjustment and muscle work.

Babies and kids see Dr Egan for help with their necks, heads, backs, digestion, breathing, and after falls. All of this can cause difficulty with nursing, sleep and their development. Conditions such as allergies, asthma, bedwetting, colic,scoliosis and sports injuries can all be helped by chiropractic.

Dr. Egan’s office and treatment room are cleaned and disinfected between each patient using strict protocols. If you’re in a high-risk category, believe you have symptoms, have been exposed to someone with symptoms, or are supposed to be under quarantine, you must reschedule your appointment to protect yourself and others from further spread.
