Why Visits a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Prac

	A Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner has

developed the necessary specialty skills in evaluating and adjusting

the body's extremities to advance their wellness.  These extremities

include the shoulders, arms, wrists and hands; legs, ankles and feet;

as well as the neck and cranial area.  The Council on Extremity

Adjusting, a governing body of practicing chiropractors, has 

approved Dr. Jared Leon's certification as a C.C.E.P.

	Why is this important?

The primary focus of a chiropractor is to locate and correct

vertebral subluxations, or displacements of the vertebrae, in

order to maintain optimal health.  Frequently, subluxations of the

extremities are the true cause of a difficulty in the musculo-

skeletal system, contributing to these chronic spinal subluxations.

	Merely focusing on the spinal vertebrae sometimes

ignores the root cause, and while a patient may gain temporary

relief, the extremity subluxations can, in fact, exacerbate the

vertebral subluxations and make their associated symptoms

much worse.  Futhermore, they can worsen spinal subluxation

patterns and make them more difficult to correct.  A Certified

Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner understands the body's

entire musculo-skeletal system and how to adjust it to best

resolve a patient's difficulties.
