Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic focuses on addressing subluxations, which are misalignments of the spine that put pressure on nerves. Subluxations also reduce joint movement and proper muscle function in addition to adding pressure to spinal discs. Chiropractic helps to restore better alignment to the spine resulting in better function of the nerves, joints, muscles and discs. Chiropractic care can also prevent problems such as joint and disc degeneration, muscle dysfunction, and nerve pressure.
What Are Some Benefits?
Our patients report:
- Improved movement
- Reduced pain and inflammation
- Improved sleep
- Improved immune function
- Decreased allergies
- Improved function of organs
- Decreased headaches
- And more!
Most people who come seek care do so because they have a problem or a symptom. We will provide an initial evaluation and examination to determine the cause of their problem and if chiropractic care would be an appropriate treatment. If we determine chiropractic care can help we will develop a treatment plan based on that person’s needs.
First, we will address the acute issue and help to reduce pain and being to restore function. Next, we will make sure the area heals, reducing the chance for the problem to return, by providing corrective care. Most of our patients will elect to continue with wellness care. This care is given to not only maintain that improvement but continue to support their healthy lifestyle.
As some patients have different adjusting preferences we offer both manual and instrument-assisted techniques.
Most people will benefit from the quick, precise, and low-force thrusts our doctors are trained to deliver as manual chiropractic adjustments. Our doctors will always explain what to expect to make sure you are comfortable with the procedure.
Drop tables can assist in delivering the thrust that adjusts your spinal joints or other joints. The procedure is still every bit as specific as with a Diversified adjustment, but with gravity doing some of the work as the drop table moves, you feel less pressure during the thrust. This technique can be helpful when less force is desired or for patient comfort.
The Activator tool is used to deliver an even lower force adjustment than is felt with hands-on manual adjustments or with adjustments on a drop table. The tool still delivers a precise adjustment to a specific joint and is highly effective, many people consider it to be a gentle adjusting method.
Some patients respond better to repetitive movements prescribed and taught specifically to address their condition. Using this method, the doctors will assess you, instruct you in the movements, and ensure you are going through them correctly. You may be instructed to repeat these sequences of movements when you’re not in the office, and this method may be combined with other treatments to achieve the best results.
We offer a variety of therapy modalities to assist your body in healing. These include muscle stimulation therapy, ultrasound, heat, ice, stretching and strengthening exercises.
We will see you more frequently at the start of your care. It’s the consistency of the treatments that get patients headed in the right direction in terms of correcting spinal alignments and retraining the muscles that support that area.
The frequency of care begins to decrease as patients move through corrective, rehabilitative, and stabilizing phases of their treatment plan. We will continue to monitor your progress throughout your treatment.
Why Not Give It a Try?
Wondering if chiropractic care can benefit you? As you go through the initial phase of care we can know whether or not we’re seeing the improvements we both expect to see. If we’re not we have the resources and abilities to refer for further testing or further evaluation.
