Chiropractic Care
For over a century chiropractic has helped people of all ages. Without drugs or surgery.
Even with countless delighted patients, chiropractic is still misunderstood. Here’s how we explain chiropractic to those who are new to our practice.
Chiropractic is based on a simple scientific fact. Your nervous system controls and regulates every cell of your body. Nerve message interference between brain and body can cause tissue malfunction.
The moving bones of your spine are a common cause of nerve interference.
There may be pain, numbness or tingling. Other times there aren’t obvious symptoms. Drugs can’t restore the proper motion and position of misaligned spinal bones.
But a chiropractic adjustment can.
Our chiropractors will use their hands or a small hand instrument. A light, quick thrust will coax wayward spinal vertebrae into proper alignment. Adjustments feel great. (If they didn’t our patients wouldn’t return.) Repeated visits help retrain and strengthen the spine.
As the integrity of your spine improves, symptoms usually subside. Health can return. Naturally. Without drugs or surgery.
Our chiropractors choose from many time-tested adjusting techniques. It just depends on your spinal problem, age, condition and preference:
Diversified – A precise thrust is administered to misaligned spinal bones. Sometimes this produces a sound as gas and fluids shift in the joint. While interesting, the sound has little meaning.
Thompson Terminal Point – This is a popular way to analyze and adjust. A special table reduces the energy needed to adjust your spine.
Activator Methods® – This employs a handheld, spring-loaded instrument. It delivers a consistent, predictable and repeatable low-force thrust. We often use the Activator with our youngest and oldest patients.
Active Release® – We often use this with athletic injuries. Many muscle-related conditions respond quickly. It’s our go-to soft tissue technique.
Gonstead – Mid-back spinal problems are corrected in a kneeling position. The objective is to restore your spine without twisting or rotating your neck.
Logan Basic – This involves a light contact to the sacrum. This causes muscles to relax. As they do, the “foundation of your spine” better supports your body.
Webster Technique – This approach reduces sacral and SI joint dysfunction. We often use this approach with expectant mothers. Especially during their last trimester. It improves the neuro-biomechanical function of the pelvis.
We may complement your chiropractic care with additional procedures:
Diagnostic Imaging – We use state of the art digital X-rays. Crystal clear pictures of your spine make your chiropractic adjustments more precise.
ChiroFit Exercises – Specific exercises may be recommended. These will balance your spine so your adjustments hold better.
Computerized Functional Testing – First we establish a baseline. Then we document your progress during your care. This is especially helpful for our personal injury patients.
Standard Process® Nutrition – Many store-bought supplements are made in a lab. The nutritional supplements we use are derived from organic whole foods.
