  • About Chiropractic Care

Like conventional medicine, chiropractic is based upon scientific principles of diagnosis through testing and empirical observations. Treatment is based upon the practitioner's rigorous training and clinical experience. Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, chiropractic attempts to improve the health of the individual in an effort to avoid illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is one of the main reasons for the big upsurge in the popularity of chiropractic. People are recognizing the benefit of seeking an alternative to traditional medicine; one that will help them achieve and maintain optimal health.

What truly differentiates doctors of chiropractic from any other healthcare professionals is the fact that chiropractors are the only professionals who are trained to diagnose and treat what are called spinal subluxations. The word 'subluxation' comes from the Latin words meaning 'to dislocate' (luxare) and 'somewhat or slightly' (sub). So the term 'vertebral subluxation' literally means a slight dislocation (misalignment) of the bones in the spine. Although this term was adequate in the 1800s when much was still misunderstood about the human body, today the word 'subluxation' has changed in meaning to capture the complex of neurological, structural, and functional changes that occur when a bone is 'out of place.' For this reason chiropractors usually refer to subluxations of the spine as the "Vertebral Subluxation Complex", or "VSC" for short.

The chiropractic approach to healthcare is holistic, meaning that it addresses your overall health. It recognizes that many lifestyle factors such as exercise, diet, rest, and environment impact your health. For this reason, chiropractors recommend changes in lifestyle' eating, exercise, and sleeping habits in addition to chiropractic care.

Chiropractic is so much more than simply a means of relieving pain. Ultimately, the goal of the chiropractic treatment is to restore the body to its natural state of optimal health. Since the body has a remarkable ability to heal itself and to maintain its own health, the primary focus is simply to remove those things which interfere with the body's normal healing ability.

Testimonial

  • "My husband and I have been going to Bellomo Family Chiropractic for several months now and the results of doing so are absolutely astounding! I came to my first appointment in a lot of pain and using a cane. Now, not only do I no longer require a cane, but I no longer live in pain which was in my back and knees. With the combination of attending their very informative classes, my weekly adjustments, doing a 21-day purification they recommended, and being a Christian based business, my whole physical quality of life has completely turned around. I am also 35 pounds lighter! I have not felt this good in over 10 years! Thank you Dr. John, Dr. Joe, and your awesome staff for your tremendous impact on my physical health!"

  • "It has been a long time since I have been at Dr. John’s because I moved far away. But, during the years that I was under his treatments I recovered my health (a perfect C-curve for my neck!). My mother-in law, then 90 years old, recovered so much movement! God bless, Dr. John and his staff! He is always in my prayers!"
    Sheila Graziani
  • "I came in 2 weeks ago not being able to stand on my left leg due you extreme pain. After few days of treatment I was able to walk without assistance and pain. It is a miracle! I can stand on my own now! I came into office today without pain. I will continue my treatment. Highly recommended!"
    Joyce Carroll
  • "What a blessing they are! I started 7 months ago, all hunched over, with shallow breathing, and low back and groin pain. The difference is amazing. I am standing up straighter, am able to deep, belly breathe, and my aches are almost all gone. Also I am more relaxed. Thank you Dr. John and Dr. Joe!"
    Irene Walther
  • "I was always very skeptical of Chiropractors until I had back pain which was beginning to get complicated. I came to this office and the education I received made me begin to rethink my opinion. The staff was pleasant, the Doctors were friendly and the cost was affordable. Not to mention that the Christian environment made me comfortable. I had 3 weeks of treatments and after 2 weeks my pain was 90% gone. I am grateful to God for the healing He have me through the skill that He gave his servants, Drs. John and Joseph. This office is really worth the try."
