A Chiropractor is a doctor of complementary and alternative health care that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic is a drug-free non-surgical approach to health care. Chiropractors use manual therapy including spinal adjustments and soft-tissue manipulation as well as prescription of exercises and lifestyle counseling to treat a wide range of health problems. Chiropractors are the 3rd largest group of health care providers in North America after medical doctors and dentists.  more

A Chiropractor is a Doctor of Chiropractic (i.e. – “D.C.”). A Chiropractor’s primary specialty is locating and correcting the vertebral subluxation. Many people think of Chiropractic as a means of treating neck pain and back pain, but doctors of Chiropractic are holistic practitioners who consider man as an integrated being, and give special attention to the physiological and biochemical aspects including structural, spinal, musculoskeletal, neurological, vascular, nutritional, emotional and environmental relationships. The practice and procedures utilized by Chiropractors are based on academic and clinical training received through accredited chiropractic colleges. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures include but are not limited to specific adjustments to the skeletal frame, trigger point and massage therapy to the musculature, and computerized surface EMG and Thermography readings. X-rays are also utilized when necessary. Chiropractic is a drug-free, non-surgical science that ...  more

Chiropractors are biomechanics. A chiropractor frees locked joints and restores balanced body motion. Over time, poor posture and unbalanced joint motion cause joint stress, breakdown, arthritis and pain. Chiropractors help problems in the musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones and joints). Pain is reduced when we relieve irritation and stress from nerves, muscles, ligaments and other soft tissues. Our goal is to restore normal motion and relieve pain. Besides treating patients for back and neck pain, many chiropractors believe improving the body’s motion will relieve irritation of the nervous system. Since the body is controlled by the nerves, a well adjusted body functions better and is healthier.  more

Chiropractors are doctors who are trained in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects these disorders have on general health. The emphasis is on removing subluxations (bone misalingments) from the spine or any joint in the body by realigning them. As we know disease (dis-ease) is caused by abnormal function of the nervous system. The basic philosophy of chiropractic is that the body will heal itself, when the right doors are unlocked. Traditional chiropractic treaments remove the misalignment, however and unfortunatley, a misalignemnt will happen 3-4 hours, 2-4 days, 30-40 days after the traditional chiropractic manipulation. The technique that is used by Dr. Azim will keep the alignment of the spine by strengthening the ligaments permanently. Chiropractic is a safe and effective way to restore the body to its full potential and it assists patients to overcome all types of ailments ranging from sore muscles and achy ...  more
