Chiropractic Care

The main purpose of Chiropractic care is to improve health by removing nerve interference due to subluxations of the vertebrae. Your brain is protected by your skull, your major organs shielded by the rib cage for the most part stationary bones. The bones protecting your spinal cord are 24 moving vertebrae. When these bones lose their normal motion or position they can irritate the nervous system. This disrupts the function of tissues or organs the nerves control, this is called a Subluxation. Adjustments help restore proper spinal and nervous system function, promoting a natural healing process.

Rehabilitation

Whether your injury was caused by a work or sports injury, automobile accident, or simply weakened by inactivity more then your general health can be affected. Chiropractic rehabilitation involves the restoration of proper joint function, strengthening muscles and soft tissues. Our program generally involves certain spinal adjustments, stretching, and resistance exercises. We also incorporate certain pieces of equipment that isolate and strengthen specific areas of the spine. We also encourage you to do some simple exercises at home, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Strengthening supportive muscles helps speed healing and prevents re-injury.

Massage Therapy

Our certified Massage Therapists are skilled in a variety of techniques in order to provide you with a rehabilitative and therapeutic massage. Massage Therapy allows extended treatment to areas as specified by the doctor. Massage improves the circulatory system, which feeds your muscles with nutrients helping them heal and strengthen. Manipulation of soft tissue assists in circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids to speed healing; releases tension stored in muscles. Luckily alternative therapies can effectively reduce pain and speed recovery without the scary side effects of many over the counter and prescription drugs.

Spinal and Postural Analysis

Posture and spinal analysis’s are done during your first visit and then periodically throughout your care. Re-evaluating your posture is a valuable tool to measure your progress. A thorough postural assessment will indicate any restrictions, imbalances and misalignments of the body. Information gathered during an analysis is combined with data from your chiropractic exam to help form an individualized treatment plan.
