Back Doctor Defined
Chiropractors are back doctors and also more than just back doctors. They use what is called a chiropractic adjustment to align the bones in your spine to take pressure off surrounding tissues, muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc. This misalignment is called a subluxation. Subluxation can be a nagging type or have dire long reaching, long term consequences. A chiropractic adjustment can be hands only or can use special tables to traction, or separate compressed spinal segments to release tension and create space in your spine so your vertebral discs and bone structures have more room to move. This chiropractic adjustment releases the pressure surrounding spinal nerves. Back Doctors , Chiropractors release the pressure that is very often the cause of Low back pain, Mid back pain and Neck pain, or sciatic pain. Chiropractors are back doctors that are licensed as health care providers in every U.S. state and dozens of countries around the world. The chiropractic curriculum takes four years to complete and includes extensive classroom, lab hours, and a clinical residency program.

Testimonial
Dr. Kevin and his staff are great. My wife called a couple local chiropractors trying to get some information regarding what our insurance covered and the Office staff at O'Hara were the most helpful and worked hard to help answer our questions. Dr. Kevin is beyond great his "bedside" manner is excellent he makes you feel like you have known him for years. I will recommend his practice to anyone I know that is looking for a chiropractor.
