What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the nervous, skeletal and muscular systems of the body,
and the effects these disorders have on ones general health. Whenever there is a system containing many movable parts, a
complex balance is necessary between those parts. Chiropractic returns the body to balance through adjustments of the spine
and joints, normalizing joint motion, reducing nerve irritation, relieving stress and restoring normal body function.
Chiropractors influence the body's nervous system and natural defense mechanisms in order to alleviate pain and improve
general health.

Although Chiropractic is best known for relieving neck and back pain, it is also very effective for a variety of conditions, such
as headaches, arm and leg pain, numbness and tingling in an extremity, sprains and strains, pregnancy and postpartum back
pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ dysfunction, and much more. Because of its effectiveness in treating back problems,
headaches and other injuries and traumas, chiropractic has become one of the largest primary health care fields in the world.

Personal Injury / Auto Accident Injury Care

Chiropractors are one of the best and preferred doctors to help patients with neck, back, and other injuries related to an
automobile accident. Research has shown that serious injury can take place with collisions under 5 mph. As a specialist in
neuromuscular skeletal injuries, with a variety of therapies at his disposal, Dr. Sorensen is an expert in auto accident care. Dr.
Sorensen will perform a comprehensive exam to determine the best care for you and your injuries. Personal Injury Protection
(PIP) is an extension of car insurance mandatory in Oregon that covers medical expenses, including Chiropractic, and in some
cases, lost wages and other damages that result from an auto accident. It is your right to receive care and to choose your
provider, without a referral, for your injuries that occurred due to your auto accident.

Workers' Compensation

Suffering from a work injury? You are not alone. Each year millions of Americans are injured at work. It is your right to receive
care and choose your provider for injuries that occur while at work. Work injuries result from improper lifting, repetitive
stress or other traumas. Back injuries are the number one work-related injury in the United States. Workers Compensation
plans show that more than twice as many work injury claims are made for back injuries than any other type of injury. Studies
have shown 85% of the population will experience disabling back pain at least once during their lives!

Oregon Study: An Oregon study revealed that 82% of patients who received Chiropractic care for their work related injuries
were able to return to work after one week, where as only 41% of patients who received standard medical care returned to
work after a one week period. Patient satisfaction was also higher in the group treated by Chiropractors.

Pregnancy and Post Partum Pain

Chiropractic is safe for both the mother and fetus and often helps to reduce those "typical pregnancy" aches and pains. This
period of rapid development, hormonal changes, laxity of connective ligaments, and shifting of weight-bearing structures, may
cause many pregnant women to experience back pain. As the center of gravity changes, so does the stress to the spine. The
joints in the body try to compensate for these changes, and as a result, they are often sore and stiff. In addition, many women
find their labor to be shorter and experience less discomfort if they've received chiropractic care throughout their pregnancy.
Modified approaches can make chiropractic adjustments for pregnant moms easy and comfortable. Congratulations on your
pregnancy! Visit us and find out how Chiropractic care can promote a healthy pregnancy and happy mother & baby!!
