What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic is a natural, drug-free approach to health that focuses on the relationship between your spine and nervous system. Learn how it works and what we believe.
Our Philosophy
At Dillon Chiropractic, we believe in the body's natural ability to heal itself when given the right conditions. Here are the core principles that guide our care.
The Nervous System Controls Everything
Your brain communicates with every cell, tissue, and organ through your nervous system. The spine protects this vital communication highway, and misalignments can interfere with optimal function.
The Body Has Innate Intelligence
Your body possesses a remarkable ability to heal and regulate itself. Chiropractic care removes interference to this natural healing ability, allowing your body to function at its best.
Structure Affects Function
The relationship between your spine's structure and your nervous system's function is central to health. When spinal bones are properly aligned, your body can perform optimally.
Prevention Over Treatment
We believe in proactive care rather than reactive treatment. Regular chiropractic adjustments help maintain spinal health and prevent problems before they start.
How Chiropractic Works
Your journey to better health follows a proven process designed to identify and address the root cause of your concerns.

Relief Care vs. Corrective Chiropractic Care
Understanding the difference between symptom relief and structural correction is key to achieving long-term health
Relief Care
Relief care focuses on reducing your immediate pain and discomfort. This is typically the first phase of treatment and helps you feel better quickly.
Corrective Chiropractic Care
Corrective care addresses the underlying structural issues causing your symptoms. This approach aims to restore proper spinal alignment and prevent future problems.
Most patients benefit from both approaches: Beginning with relief care to manage acute pain, then transitioning to corrective care to address underlying structural issues and prevent recurrence.
