The word chiropractic is derived from Greek and means “ To Perform With The Hands”. Paintings from ancient Egypt and Greece have shown chiropractic was used thousand of years ago. However, David Palmer in the U.S did not find modern chiropractic until 1895.
Treatment is usually painless and contrary to popular beliefs seems completely normal and un-dramatic. Combining several factors including the patient’s examination history and/or x-rays, the doctor can make the decision on how to treat your problem.
Chiropractic today has the education and technology to treat many problems, not just back and neck pain. Chiropractic can also, help you learn different teaching such as exercising, stretching the muscles, and eating a healthy diet.
Once the problem has been relieved, the chiropractor can help with prevention of similar problems by identifying certain strains that your body is exposed to everyday.
Chiropractic is a detailed examination of the joints of the body to determine if and where a functional misalignment exists. If misalignment exists and is isolated the chiropractor can physically restore the joint to its optimal position and range of motion. This may take one, or more than likely a series of treatments to stabilize the condition.
Chiropractic is a health care discipline, which emphasizes the inherent recuperation power of the body to heal itself without drugs or surgery. The practice chiropractic focuses on the relationship between the spine and nervous system and how the relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.
The chiropractic belief on healing and health differs on the traditional medical view. A chiropractor will evaluate the entire patient as a whole during examination and treating a patient’s health alignment and not just focusing on only one symptom or specific part of the body. We know the body can maintain and heal itself in most cases, without chemicals or cutting out of certain tissues, we believe health is something that comes from within.
The Chiropractor and staff also knows that under certain circumstances medical intervention is necessary but it is the body that controls and manages the healing process and not the doctor or externally applies forces.
Once the Chiropractor corrects spinal abnormalities and can eliminate spine and nerve irritation. Pain is relieved and the bodies own history capabilities are set into motion.

When I first went to see Dr. Di Liberto, I was suffering from some pretty dibilitating back pain. I wasn't able to get relief from any physician or alternative therapy. At my first visit, and after a very comprehensive physical and discussion of my present and past medical history, I was really impressed with how in a short amount of time he was able to explain to me exactly what was going on in my body and how he could assist in correcting it. Turns out he was right. After several weeks I was completely pain free and able to actively participate in more social activities. After feeling confident with Dr. Di Liberto's ability to help me, I decided to confide in him a condition I have had for many years that I knew was not his specialty but thought he might be able to lead me in the right direction. After explaining to him that, again no other doctor had been able to diagnose and treat my issue, he seemed to be up to the challenge. Several days later in his office, I was inundated with medical texts and resources regarding what he thought was going on. He took the time to give me a crach course in my anatomy and gave me a possible diagnosis I could take to my other specialist and discuss with her. Upon discussing this information with my other doctor, she was really impressed with my research ability and confirmed that that is exactly what was happenng to me. After I admitted that my Chiropractor had figured this out, she paused, seemed very surprised, then said " Wow, you found a great doctor! " Enough said.
Thanks Dr. D for caring.
