Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment and motion to your spine, which relieves nervous system interference. The result is decreased pain, increased range of motion, and better overall health. Chiropractic adjustments have been proven repeatedly in the scientific literature to be the safest, most efficient, most cost-effective management of low back pain, upper back pain, and neck pain which often lead to headaches, migraines, range of motion restriction, and many other symptoms. Along with the adjustment, we will incorporate other treatment modalities that will benefit the patient including intersegmental traction, decompression therapy, electrical stimulation therapy, manual therapy, and education towards a deeper understanding of how to live and maintain a healthier lifestyle.
What Do Chiropractors Do?
Practically speaking, chiropractors are primarily concerned with locating and treating vertebral subluxations.
A vertebral subluxation is a complex of functional, structural, and/or pathological articular (joint) changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ function and general health.
Using a number of unique and highly refined skills, the chiropractor checks the patient’s spine for any misalignments, fixations or other abnormalities (vertebral subluxations). If subluxations or other abnormalities are detected, the chiropractor will generally apply a gentle force in a corrective manner to the affected spinal area.
Our doctors use many specialized techniques to identify and treat these spinal abnormalities and optimize overall health.
How Chiropractic Differs
**There is a significant and very important difference between the way chiropractors and medical doctors approach health problems.
When evaluating and treating patients, chiropractors take a holistic approach which includes identifying and correcting the cause(s) of the patient’s health ailment. In contrast, the medical approach tends to focus more on treating the symptoms of the condition rather than focus on the actual cause(s). We believe that correcting the cause of the problem provides significant long-term benefits versus only treating or numbing the symptoms
