Here at Proctor Chiropractic, we offer experienced relief and wellness care to our Proctor, Federal Way, Lakewood, Gig Harbor, and Fife area patients. Some of our patients who are new to Tacoma chiropractic care may be curious about the philosophy of care we provide so we would like to explain about that here in today's blog. Our chiropractor Dr. George Keogh and his colleague Dr. Darin Schultz follow the chiropractic philosophy of healing and wellness to help patients experience maximum relief.

Our Tacoma Chiropractors Focus on Pain Relief

Tacoma chiropractors explain natural approach to pain relief. Our philosophy is based on two fundamentals. First, that the body's structure and condition strongly impacts the way that the whole body functions and heals itself. Second, that the relationship between the brain and the body is vital in achieving and maintaining true and lasting healing.

Chiropractic methods are based on holistic healing -- meaning that it is a natural way of healing that focuses on using natural remedies and physical resolutions to healing rather than using medication or surgeries.

When a patient experiences injury, illness, or issues such as chronic pain or back pain, our treatment methods seek the underlying reason for the problem. When the cause of the pain or problem is determined, our chiropractor will address the pain condition where it originates in the spinal column. Since the complicated network of nerves that connect to the spine is in control of nearly all bodily functions in some way, the spine is invariably the place to begin when seeking the cause of the problem.

Our treatments include gentle spinal manipulations to put a stop to pain and other physical problems. Once our patients find relief from pain, we focus on helping them prevent pain from returning. When the body feels well, the mind also functions better. Total wellness is dependent upon this balance of mind and body functioning. We embrace natural spine-care here and are very proud to serve as your chiropractor.
