Here is what our logo designer has to say about the logo she created after careful consideration and multiple discussions. She really understood the essence of this venture and put soul in our logo design. “The left spiral(blue) represents calm and healing while the spine (on the right) represents vibrancy and vitality of life. The left also represents the masculine side and the right feminine since your practice deals with issues particular to both genders. And the movement of the two spirals, intertwined, represents harmony.”

Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Unlike traditional medicine, chiropractors do not use drugs or surgery to treat patients; instead, they rely on manual adjustments to the spine and other joints in order to restore range of motion, reduce pain, and improve overall health.
Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to health and wellness that focuses on the relationship between the body’s structure (spine, muscles, joints) and its functioning. By correcting misalignments in the spine, chiropractors can help reduce nerve interference and improve overall range of motion.
