What makes Chiropractic and Physical Therapy different?

1. Chiropractors take 4 years of training on how the spinal joints and other joints of the body can be manipulated safely while Physical Therapists focus mostly on exercise rehabilitation
2. Chiropractors have more training in nutrition
3. Physical Therapists work jointly with hospitals, schools, clinics while chiropractors normally work in private practice just like medical doctors in a specialty.  
4. Chiropractors enhance full body health by keeping the joints healthy and moving properly leading to less stress and strain on the body and boosting the immune when adjusting.
5. Chiropractors focus on full body health and Physical Therapists normally rehabilitate injuries.  

What to expect when visiting our San Francisco Chiropractor:

1. Take a full history
2. Muscle Testing and analysis
3. Full Body Assessment
4. Posture, lifestyle assessment
5. Joint manipulation

After treatment, you will notice not only pain reduction but you will sleep better, focus better and mood changes may occur.  Any joint movement is assessed by the brain and processed.  Once the brain is good with it, your body is good with it and stress is reduced throughout the body leading to better health, vitality and adaptability.  

There are 360 joints in the body and all of these joints communicate with the brain.   Each joint can be evaluated and influenced.  Chiropractors do not just work on the neck and back.  They work on all of these areas and the muscles, tendons, ligaments and structures surrounding them.  Each joint sends signals to the brain and the rest of the body.  

This includes Glands, hormones, systems as well.  Here are some of the areas that chiropractors work on that most people don't think about:

• Feet 
• Hands
• Elbows
• Wrists
• Fingers
• Knees
• Shoulders
• Hips

All of these areas then affect:

1. Glands
2. Digestion
3. Circulation
4. Nerves
5. Muscles
6. Immune
