What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic has been practiced in America for over 115 years.

The doctor of chiropractic (D.C.) or chiropractor is a member of the health care community that specializes in the spine, muscles, nerves and skeletal systems. The chiropractor seeks to relieve pain, illness and injury by manipulation of the spine (and other joints), use of physical therapy modalities, exercise, massage and other procedures or tests as necessary.

Chiropractors are particularly skillful in treating whiplash injury, sciatica, pinched nerve problems, posture problems, sports injuries, low back pain, neck pain, headaches, degenerative disc disease, herniated disks and shoulder pain...just to name a few!

James A. Thatcher, a chiropractor in Colorado Springs, has practiced full time since 1992 with a practice emphasis in treating joint, muscle and nerve conditions.
