Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is the science, art and philosophy that uses the inherent recuperative powers of the body and deals with the relationship between your spinal column and nervous system, and the role of that relationship in restoring and maintaining your health.
The master controlling system of the body is your brain and spinal cord. Messages travel from the brain down the spinal cord through 31 pairs of nerve roots, to thousands of nerves that communicate and coordinate every organ, tissue and cell of your body, and every cell, tissue and organ communicate back up to the brain.
Anything that interferes with that process causes dysfunction, leading to dis-ease (think of the word disease, which means lack of ease), and then eventually leading to symptoms.
Addressing Stress
Nerve stress is responsible for many conditions people are experiencing. Chiropractors effectively address stresses of the body, whether chemical (e.g. toxins), emotional (e.g. anxiety), or physical (e.g. trauma), because those three stresses are the root of all health problems. How is stress addressed? Through the chiropractic adjustment.
Types of Care
We offer relief care to temporarily fix the symptom (i.e. pain), corrective care to address the cause of your body’s dysfunction, and maintenance care for those seeking to take a proactive approach to their health.
Our Techniques
The primary adjusting techniques we use include:
Diversified
After identifying which vertebrae have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is applied to free up “stuck” spinal joints. Read more about Diversified »
Thompson
Thompson Terminal Point technique is a system of analysis and a special table that reduces the amount of energy needed to adjust your spine. Read more about Thompson »
Activator Methods®
This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers consistent, low-force thrust. Read more about Activator Methods® »
Manipulation Under Anesthesia
Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) is a technique that originated in the 1930s, where patients are placed in “twilight” sedation so that the spine can be adjusted and the soft tissue stretched when the patient is in a more relaxed state… Read more Manipulation Under Anesthesia »
Cox Flexion-Distraction
We use a special table so we can traction your spine, opening up the spacing between spinal vertebrae and reducing pressure on facet joints of the spine. Read more Cox Flexion-Distraction »
Impulse
This handheld instrument delivers a carefully measured and directed thrust that is many times faster than hand, so less force is needed. Read more about Impulse »
If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let us know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.
