The purpose of care at Hart Chiropractic is to improve nerve  system function in the patient using spinal adjustment  This is important because the nerves control so many functions in the body. 

Improved nerve function means you can better heal yourself of what ails you. It's not a cure-all but still an important piece of the healthcare "pie."

Call for a free exam if:

a. It's been a while since your last spine and nerve system exam

b. You've been diagnosed with a nerve system condition such as dys-auto-nomia

Dr. Hart checks the health of the nerve system with the evidence-based nerve tests of: 

a. Resting heart rate 

b. Heart rate variability

c. Skin temperature differentials

 Dr. Hart uses these tests to help him decide whether his patient needs an adjustment.  For more information on Dr. Hart's method oclick on the Research link on this site (which is at:  https://johnhartchiropractic.com/research 

Spinal misalignment is checked by palpation and if necessary, on-site digital x-ray.

Adjustment of the spine is gently given when testing indicates the presence of vertebral subluxation.  Dr. Hart focuses on the upper cervical spine since there are more nerves there than anywhere else in the spine.

The patient's nerve system is monitored following the adjustment to determine effectiveness of care.
