The Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal alignment to alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments, including muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and more. This is accomplished by adjusting the position of the spinal column to its proper shape, providing a non-invasive solution for pain relief.
Many people dismiss chiropractic as being something only for back pain, but chiropractic treatment can be used to treat a wide variety of physical issues, such as migraines and headaches, chronic pain, carpal tunnel, pain due to injury or muscle strain, and much more.
The History of Chiropractic Care
The word “Chiropractic” is derived from the Greek words “cheir” (hand) and “praktos” (done) combined to mean “done by hand.” It was chosen by the developer of chiropractic care, Daniel David Palmer. In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, who later reported that his hearing had improved due to the change.
D.D. Palmer opened the first chiropractic school two years later, and in the century since, chiropractic professionals have used spinal adjustments to help people prevent and cope with back pain, carpal tunnel, muscle strain, headaches and migraines, and a variety of other physical ailments. Millions of people benefit from the work of Dr. Palmer today.
What Kind of Training Does a Chiropractor Have?
Chiropractic doctors go through a minimum of four years of schooling at a chiropractic college, generally preceded by an undergraduate degree in the basic sciences or several years of experience in a prior relevant health care field.
Students of chiropractic care must spend a minimum of at least 4,200 hours with their teacher, and a minimum of 1,000 hours of fully supervised clinical training with an instructor as they learn the appropriate diagnosis and treatment techniques to help heal your body and restore it to its natural, fully functioning state.

Maurice K. Fretty, DC
Dr. Fretty is a native San Franciscan and has been a chiropractor since 1998, when he graduated from Life West Chiropractic College.
Dr. Fretty discovered the power of chiropractic after traditional medicine failed to alleviate his back pain following a sports injury.
“I had two fused vertebra in my back from an old horseback riding accident and had recently been diagnosed with a condition, pseudo tumor cerebri. I had severe headaches, trouble sleeping,”
Rachel M.
“Over a period of more than 20 years I had experienced back pain, the most debilitating of which was centered in my lower back. The condition would result in severe muscle spasms”
Mary T.
“I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) with rapid weight loss. I would eat eight big meals daily and still could not keep anything in. I had extreme pain all the time on the left side mostly.”
Lisa R.
“Sports-related injuries caused limited movement in my joints and spine. Some days, I was unable to be the athlete I wanted to be. I tried traditional medicine and x-rays.”
Russell V.
“I first came to chiropractic about the age of 9. My dad would make periodic trips to the chiropractor’s office just up the street from our home and he would sometimes take me along.”
Bob S.
“I have been a heavyweight lifter for almost 20 years, and a firefighter for 13 of them. Over time, it has taken a little more time to recover from physical exertion. I would have nagging”
Willa O
“We asked some of our patients to describe their conditions, how the pain affected their lives, and what other treatments they had before coming to Dr. Fretty. A few of their stories follow.”
