How Chiropractic Works

Assessment: We begin by conducting a thorough assessment of your health history, including any current complaints and past injuries. We will also perform a physical examination, diagnostic tests, and imaging studies to understand your condition better.

Spinal Adjustment: The cornerstone of chiropractic treatment is the spinal adjustment. We use our hands or specialized instruments to apply a controlled force to the spine or other joints in the body. The goal is to correct misalignments, known as subluxations, and restore proper movement to the joints of the spine, and proper function to the nervous system. This adjustment can help alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being.

Soft Tissue Therapy: In addition to spinal adjustments, we may also incorporate various soft tissue therapies into your treatment plan. These may include techniques such as massage, stretching, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. Soft tissue therapy aims to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote healing in injured tissues.

Exercise and Rehabilitation: We often prescribe specific exercises and rehabilitation programs to complement spinal adjustments and soft tissue therapy. These exercises help strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance stability, which can aid in the recovery process and prevent future injuries.

Lifestyle Counseling: We also offer advice on lifestyle modifications, including ergonomic adjustments, posture correction, nutritional guidance, and stress management techniques. These recommendations are tailored to the individual needs

Preventive and Maintenance Care: Beyond treating existing health issues, we also emphasize preventive care to maintain spinal health and prevent future problems. This may involve periodic spinal adjustments, ongoing exercise programs, and lifestyle modifications to promote optimal wellness.

Electrical Stimulation: By delivering mild electrical impulses to targeted

areas of the body, e-stim therapy can effectively alleviate pain, reduce


inflammation, and promote muscle recovery. It's a non-invasive, drug-free

approach that can be tailored to individual needs, making it suitable for a

wide range of conditions, from chronic pain to sports injuries. Additionally,

e-stim therapy can enhance blood circulation, accelerate healing, and

improve muscle strength and function.

Cold-Laser Therapy: This non-invasive treatment penetrates deep into tissues, promoting cellular regeneration and reducing inflammation. Cold laser therapy is highly effective in accelerating the healing process for a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, and soft tissue damage. Unlike surgical interventions or medication, cold laser therapy is painless and carries minimal risks, making it a safe and convenient option for patients seeking relief from chronic pain or acute injuries.

spine/neck x-ray

Getting the Full Picture of Your Spine

X-rays play a crucial role in chiropractic care by providing valuable insights into the structural integrity of the spine. By capturing detailed images of the spine, X-rays enable chiropractors to identify misalignments, assess spinal curvature, and pinpoint areas of concern that may not be visible through physical examination alone.

These images serve as a roadmap for developing personalized treatment plans tailored to the specific needs of each patient. With X-ray analysis, we can accurately diagnose spinal issues, such as subluxations, disc degeneration, or spinal misalignments, allowing for targeted and effective chiropractic adjustments.

Moreover, X-rays help us track progress over time, allowing them to objectively measure improvements in spinal alignment and overall health. This not only ensures that treatment is on the right track but also empowers patients to take an active role in their care by understanding their condition and the benefits of chiropractic adjustments.

Ultimately, by incorporating X-rays into chiropractic assessments, we can provide more precise, evidence-based care, leading to improved outcomes, enhanced patient satisfaction, and better long-term spinal health.
