Chiropractic treatment covers a wide variety of services to help patients who suffer from any form of pain or have been injured.
A common misconception about chiropractic care is that all we do is perform spinal adjustments when, in reality, it refers to a profession that focuses on the treatment and recovery of musculoskeletal injuries.
We have trained in several different non-surgical techniques.
Chiropractors are best-equipped to address a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries.
This may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue mobilization, laser therapy and customized exercise rehabilitation plans. We are specialists in conservative management of all injuries. Our office provides a natural alternative to recovery that is centered around movement, exercise and hands-on therapy so you can move better and feel better.
The Chiropractic Adjustment or Manipulation
The chiropractic adjustment refers to a technique which is designed to put movement in a joint that is restricted. The doctor uses this procedure to help restore normal function and motion in a joint.
Generally, this technique employs a safe, gentle pressure or a shallow thrust to restore optimal motion. An adjustment is sometimes accompanied by a pop noise, which results from the joint’s release of gas.
How does a chiropractic adjustment help me?
The adjustment is by far the most well-known chiropractic treatment.
We’re frequently questioned about how it’s used, how it helps people with pain, and whether it’s appropriate for everyone.We use the adjustment on the majority of our patients since it is a really strong technique. The adjustment’s objective is straightforward. Restore normal motion to an area that has been damaged. One of our experts will palpate (push) your spine and feel for any joint dysfunction when evaluating you for an adjustment. An injury, muscular imbalances, sitting with poor posture, and a variety of other factors can cause joint dysfunction.
Joint dysfunction in the spine refers to a joint that does not move in the way it was intended. It’s as though you’re constrained or “trapped” in some way. When we alter or manipulate the portions of the body that have abnormal motion, we are returning appropriate joint motion and mechanics. This provides for optimal biomechanics in the body, allowing you to move more freely.
