What Is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is a non-surgical, drug-free approach to diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, with particular focus on the spine. It is most commonly sought for neck and back pain, headaches, joint stiffness, sciatica, and injuries related to sport, work, or daily activity.
The foundation of chiropractic treatment is the understanding that spinal alignment directly influences how the nervous system communicates with the rest of the body. When vertebrae lose their normal position or range of motion, the surrounding tissues, muscles, and nerves can be affected, contributing to pain and reduced function.
At Creative Health & Spine, chiropractic care is used both as a standalone treatment and as part of a broader rehabilitation or wellness plan, depending on what each patient needs.
How We Approach Chiropractic Care at Creative Health & Spine
This is your sub-headline
Dr. Andrew Fetterman, DC, BCN, CSCS, brings a performance-focused perspective to chiropractic care. With certifications in strength and conditioning (CSCS), CrossFit (CF L1), and USA Weightlifting (W-L1), Dr. Fetterman works with a wide range of patients, from those recovering from everyday injuries to competitive athletes managing load and movement demands.
Each care plan begins with a thorough assessment of your history, posture, movement patterns, and areas of concern. Treatment may draw on:
- Manual spinal adjustments and joint mobilization
- Myofascial release and soft tissue techniques
- Corrective exercise and rehabilitation integration
This approach is detailed further on our About page and in our Rehabilitation services.
Your First Chiropractic Visit
Your initial visit begins with a health intake and a movement assessment so Dr. Fetterman can understand the full picture before treatment starts. From there, he will explain his findings and outline a recommended care plan.
Treatment sessions typically include spinal adjustments, soft tissue work, and, where appropriate, corrective exercises to support the work done in the office. You will leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and what to expect over the course of care.

Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism controlled by the brain, spinal cord and nerves of the body. When the vertebrae, which protect the nervous system, are misaligned or lose their normal motion, malfunction of the tissues and the organs throughout the body can occur. It is a form of natural health care that focuses on treating a patient without the use of drugs or medications. We frequently treat individuals with problems such as headaches, joint pain, neck pain, low back pain and sciatica as well as many other conditions.
Individualized and Complete Chiropractic care encompasses various techniques to improve spinal health and overall well-being. We Offer several types of treatment so we can custom-tailor your care plan to your needs
