Family Chiropractic

Just as a family physician treats patients of all ages, Dr. Austin has treated families for the last 20 years. Patients have ranged from infants to the elderly (his oldest patient was 95 years old). His natural approach to health uses chiropractic adjustive/manipulative techniques, nutrition, exercises, and neurological care that could include postural retraining or hemispheric integration therapy to address the needs of young and old alike.

Often patients ask, “How do I know if I need chiropractic care?” Similar to how a dentist is trained to evaluate and treat the teeth and gums, chiropractors are trained to evaluate and treat the nervous system and spine. Any patient that has dysfunction of the nervous system can benefit from chiropractic care, because chiropractors seek to correct the cause of the dysfunction rather than just relieve the symptom. It is important to understand that the chiropractic adjustments used to treat adults can differ from the approaches used for children and the elderly due to differences in bone density.
