What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a healing discipline firmly grounded in science. Although its main focus is the relationship between the skeleton (particularly the spine) and the nervous system that runs through it, chiropractic is concerned with the care of the entire body. Chiropractic focuses on addressing the source of your problem, not simply with treating symptoms.

Chiropractors use various diagnostic methods, which may include x-rays, to discover the state of your health, paying particular attention to your spine and bone structure. Spinal adjustments, or manipulation as it is also referred to, as well as other manual techniques are their primary methods of helping your body heal itself.

Patient Centered Care

We provide care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.

What Our Clients Say

Testimonials
The Environment is Very Calm and Nurturing

"The enviroment is calm and nuturing at Island Chiropractic. Everything is explained, as well as your questions invited and answered to your satisfaction. This made me very comfortable and trusting. I feel it has increased my mobility and improved my range of joint motion and flexibility. Added is the often free-of-charge guidance with nutrition and supplement information when asked. I find they are very up to date on their science and practise, and current with their treatment plans. They are hands on as well. I would recommend the Mahers and their clinic to my friends and family. 5 stars!”

Painful Back Issues During Pregnancy

"I was almost six months pregnant when I started having very painful back issues. A friend recommended that I visit Dr. Jen Maher at Island Chiropractic because she practices the Webster technique and works wonders for soon-to-be moms. I'm glad I went in because after a few visits, I had no back issues at all, and that continued for the rest of my pregnancy. I loved going in to see Jen, she was always kind and professional, she really is amazing. I recommend her to all my pregnant friends now too!”
