The Market
Demand for chiropractic medicine has been growing over the last few years. Growth is due to acceptance by many insurance policies, and an increase of published research that indicates the effectiveness for patients. Betcher Chiropractic has identified two distinct customer segments: individuals ages 45-65 and individuals ages 20-44.

Services
Chiropractors diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body’s muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems, especially the spine. Chiropractors believe interference with these systems impairs normal functions and lowers resistance to disease. They also hold that the spinal or vertebral dysfunction alters many important body functions by affecting the nervous system and the skeletal imbalance through joint or articular dysfunction.

This chiropractor’s approach to health care is holistic, emphasizing the patient’s overall health and wellness. Betcher Chiropractic recognizes that there are many factors that can affect one’s wellness including but not limited to: exercise, diet, rest, environment, and hereditary. Betcher Chiropractic provides natural, drugless, nonsurgical health treatments, relying on the bodies inherent recuperative functions.
