  • About Chiropractic Care

Like conventional medicine, chiropractic is based upon scientific principles of diagnosis through testing and empirical observations. Treatment is based upon the practitioner's rigorous training and clinical experience. Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, chiropractic attempts to improve the health of the individual in an effort to avoid illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is one of the main reasons for the big upsurge in the popularity of chiropractic. People are recognizing the benefit of seeking an alternative to traditional medicine; one that will help them achieve and maintain optimal health.

What truly differentiates doctors of chiropractic from any other healthcare professionals is the fact that chiropractors are the only professionals who are trained to diagnose and treat what are called spinal subluxations. The word 'subluxation' comes from the Latin words meaning 'to dislocate' (luxare) and 'somewhat or slightly' (sub). So the term 'vertebral subluxation' literally means a slight dislocation (misalignment) of the bones in the spine. Although this term was adequate in the 1800s when much was still misunderstood about the human body, today the word 'subluxation' has changed in meaning to capture the complex of neurological, structural, and functional changes that occur when a bone is 'out of place.' For this reason chiropractors usually refer to subluxations of the spine as the "Vertebral Subluxation Complex", or "VSC" for short.

The chiropractic approach to healthcare is holistic, meaning that it addresses your overall health. It recognizes that many lifestyle factors such as exercise, diet, rest, and environment impact your health. For this reason, chiropractors recommend changes in lifestyle' eating, exercise, and sleeping habits in addition to chiropractic care.

Chiropractic is so much more than simply a means of relieving pain. Ultimately, the goal of the chiropractic treatment is to restore the body to its natural state of optimal health. Since the body has a remarkable ability to heal itself and to maintain its own health, the primary focus is simply to remove those things which interfere with the body's normal healing ability.

This section explains more about the background of chiropractic care, how it works, who it can benefit, and more!

Testimonials

  • "I had never been to a chiropractor prior to coming to Dr Vargo’s office so I was nervous on what to expect. Dr Vargo and his staff are so personable and kind they made me feel at ease! I had almost no neck pain after my 3rd visit-would highly recommend!"
    Sarah S. - Canton, Ohio
  • "I have had a very good experience for the second time. Years ago I injured my back at work and received good care with total relief of my symptoms. Lately I was experiencing back pain with daily activities and returned to Dr Vargo before the pain became intense and limited my movement. Within a few treatments I have received relief and am almost pain free. Thank you"
    Bruce W. - Canton, Ohio
  • "I have been a patient of Dr Vargo for the past 15 years. As a previous employeee I have seen him work miracles numerous times from relieving migraines, asthma and pain, to rehabilitating shoulders, knees and other extremities (he is board certified in Rehabilitation) in addition to treating the spine and neck. To top it off he is a Christian and loves the Lord. He is honest, trustworthy and an excellent chiropractor. He treats each patient the same way he would treat any of his own family members and is genuinely concerned with each individual's well-being. I would highly recommend Dr. Vargo!"
    Casey S. - Canal Fulton, Ohio
  • "I have been taking my newborn to Dr.Vargo for adjustments to help her reflux. This is the only thing that has helped her; we can see a marked improvement after a few visits! Dr. Vargo and all the staff are professional and warm. Highly recommend!"
    Lydia H. - Canton, Ohio
  • "I have been seeing Dr. Vargo for a long time and I love him. He is very personable and friendly. Most of all, he has helped me feel so much better. I go in there with pain and walk out without pain. Highly recommend Dr. Vargo! Also, the staff members are all very friendly and helpful also. I don't feel like a number when I go there."
    Diana S. - E. Sparta, Ohio
  • "Read the reviews for Vargo chiropractic and one thing becomes very clear. Vargo chiropractic is a great place to get consistent caring professional help. I thought my problems might just be a result of aging but Dr. Vargo and Carol his physical therapist were able to help me a great deal to reduce pain in my neck and back and to increase my range of motion. Thank you thank you. I will be back for my monthly check ups."
    Kathlene D. - Canton, Ohio
  • "Ron Vargo and his staff have done an excellent job in healing my back. I am now pain free and continue my checkup visits to remain pain free. Most recently he helped me get customized shoe sole inserts which have helped my feet tremendously!"
    Clark H. - Canton, Ohio
