Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is a drugless form of healthcare based on restoring and maintaining proper function of the spine.  The spine provides structural support for the body, as well as, protection for the primary components of the nervous system.  Chiropractic philosophy is centered on promoting good health through relieving nervous system irritation.  Nerve stress is removed through non-invasive, gentle manipulations called “adjustments.”  Adjustments not only restore proper spinal and nervous system function, but they also promote the body’s natural healing process...  >> read more

First State Health & Wellness has developed their own brand of vitamins. Although it is true that a perfectly balanced nutritional diet contains all the vitamins and minerals most individuals need, many people do not take the time to get a balanced diet. For most people, it is a good idea to take a vitamin supplement.

Dr. Meier Asks some important questions of interest to Hockessin residents - Chiropractor Hockessin Dr. Meier Asks...

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Hockessin chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
