Chiropractic Care
The word “chiropractic” stems from two Greek words – “cheir,” meaning “hand,” and “praktos,” meaning “done.” When you put the two words together, you get “done by hand.” Unlike traditional medicine, chiropractic care is a natural, drug-free approach to health care. It is often done by hand, or manually, promoting wellness through the health of the central nervous system.
For years, chiropractic care has been used as a natural way to ensure health and wellness. Schultz Chiropractic & Acupuncture proudly offers chiropractic care to people of all ages and lifestyles.

Chiropractic care encourages overall health by taking care of the central nervous system. The central nervous system, made up of the brain and the spinal cord, is the control center of the human body. When you are misaligned, your central nervous system is unable to properly communicate with the rest of your body. This ultimately leads to illness, including symptoms such as pain and discomfort.
According to the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC), the five most common effects of misaligned vertebrae are:
- Bone malalignment
- Compressed nerve tissue
- Muscle weakness
- Inflammation
- Degenerative changes
We understand that no two patients are the same. Each patient that comes to us has different needs. To better serve a broader patient community, we are trained in a variety of chiropractic techniques, including:
- Diversified
- Thompson
- Gonstead
- Cox Flexion-Distraction
- Activator Methods®
- Logan Basic
In addition to spinal adjustments, Dr. Schultz also does soft tissue work as needed.
Dr. Schultz will carefully choose one or more chiropractic techniques to adjust you. As your care unfolds, he will tailor your adjustments based on your personal feedback and health progress. If necessary, Dr. Schultz may also incorporate one of our adjunctive services, including spinal decompression and acupuncture, into your care plan.
With Schultz Chiropractic & Acupuncture, you can be sure that you will get the customized care you need to heal and live well.
