Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is a system of integrative health care with the focus on improving function of the whole person. Chiropractic evaluation and treatment is directed to the neuro-musculo-skeletal systems by a variety of ways to improve tone, motion and communication between the body and the central nervous system. Chiropractic from its inception has been divided into different approaches of evaluation and treatment. The two primary philosophical divisions are the Vitalistic and Mechanistic approaches. Vitalism is based on the idea that the body should not be divided into parts and systems exclusively because of the interconnectedness of the whole. Mechanism is based on a more mechanical view of how the body relates to itself and environment. Both views have merit and both can be very effective approaches.

Our Lifeforce Chiropractic approach is multifaceted and complimentary due to the individual philosophies and applications of our 2 experienced Chiropractors. Both doctors are a blend of the above philosophies with Dr. Schafernak leaning more toward a vitalism and Dr. Gandolfi leaning more toward a mechanistic approach.
