Our Philosophy
Please understand that at this office, our chiropractic adjustments will not be geared specifically to treating your symptoms. Instead, our intent is to reduce the nervous system interference along your spine through correction of the alignments affecting discs, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. As proper function is restored, your symptoms will likely lessen and healthcare return.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help You?
Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal alignment to alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments, including muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and more. This is accomplished by adjusting the position of the spinal column to its proper shape, providing a non-invasive solution for pain relief.
Many people dismiss chiropractic as being something only for back pain, but chiropractic treatment can be used to treat a wide variety of physical issues, such as migraines and headaches, chronic pain, carpal tunnel, pain due to injury or muscle strain, and much more.
The Focus of Chiropractic Care
The goal of Chiropractic care is to optimize the function of the nervous system, by detecting spinal misalignments. The nervous system, consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, is responsible for controlling and coordinating all bodily functions. By ensuring proper alignment of the spine, chiropractic care plays a crucial role in promoting overall health and often times alleviating pain. This alignment allows for uninterrupted nerve communication throughout the body, facilitating the restoration of well-being.

The History of Chiropractic Care
The word “Chiropractic” is derived from the Greek words “cheir” (hand) and “praktos” (done) combined to mean “done by hand.” It was chosen by the developer of chiropractic care, Daniel David Palmer. In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, who later reported that his hearing had improved due to the change.
D.D. Palmer opened the first chiropractic school two years later, and in the century since, chiropractic professionals have used spinal adjustments to help people prevent and cope with back pain, carpal tunnel, muscle strain, headaches and migraines, and a variety of other physical ailments. Millions of people benefit from the work of Dr. Palmer today.
What Kind of Training Does a Chiropractor Have?
Chiropractic doctors go through a minimum of four years of schooling at a chiropractic college, generally preceded by an undergraduate degree in the basic sciences or several years of experience in a prior relevant health care field.
Students of chiropractic care must spend a minimum of at least 4,200 hours with their teacher, and a minimum of 1,000 hours of fully supervised clinical training with an instructor as they learn the appropriate diagnosis and treatment techniques to help heal your body and restore it to its natural, fully functioning state.

"I was having awful shoulder pain and mobility pain in my right arm. After finding a coupon in the mail for Greenway Chiro massage session, I wandered in and now 3 months later, all my shoulder, neck, and arm pain is gone. Truly amazing results with adjustments and massages. I sleep better than ever, my exercise routine and ability to stretch has improved so much. Greenway Chiro staff is friendly, very informative without being pushy and truly gives you concerned treatment and care to reduce pain and improve mobility. Thank you!"

"Before treatment, I was experiencing mid and lower back pain and limited flexibility. I had difficulty getting out of bed, rising from chairs, and tying my shoes. Since beginning treatment, all back pain has disappeared and my range of pain-free mobility has increased. I can now almost touch my toes, something that has not been possible since my mid-thirties. Happy with the results!"
