What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic care is a system of hands-on, gentle stretching and manual techniques used to relieve pain and restore function to the body. After a thorough physical examination and X-rays, our doctors look for misalignments in the spine and other joints, areas of muscle tightness, and worn or degenerated areas. These areas may cause nerve irritation or pressure, causing pain and discomfort, including muscle soreness.
Your doctor may use several different forms of treatment to address the problem. These might range from a stretching, traction-like hands-on technique to using the Activator®, a gentle hand-held adjusting tool. Each method is specific in its treatment of the spine.
We offer three levels of care:
- Relief care – where we generally expect the patient to show a good amount of improvement in a short period of time.
- Corrective stabilization – create a better level of stability in the patient’s body to prevent recurring problems.
- Maintenance care – periodic visits to maintain the progress gained and promote good health.
All patients also receive at-home personalized exercise plans to supplement the work we do in the office.
Tools and Techniques
One or more techniques may be used to provide the best results for you. The technique we use most often in our practice is Flexion Distraction. It’s a form of spinal decompression therapy that works well on disc issues and lower back pain. We also use other “hands on” techniques or utilize adjusting tools such as an Activator or electronic Impulse Adjustor.
As part of our examination, we use a muscle testing technique called Applied Kinesiology to identify areas to work on. Muscle testing is a method of diagnosis for imbalances in the body.
Muscle testing uses a series of tests to reveal what’s happening deep in your body. It allows us to be specific as to which vertebrae need adjustment.
