Chiropractic Care

This is our go-to form of treatment for most conditions in the office.

A chiropractic adjustment is most commonly associated with treatment for the back, neck, and spine.  Did you know chiropractors can actually deliver an adjustment to just about any joint of the body?  Some chiropractors will only adjust the spine.  In our office, we can and will adjust more.  This includes shoulders, wrists, elbows, hips, knees, ankles, and more!

A chiropractic adjustment is a specific treatment delivered to a restricted or fixated joint in order to restore movement to that joint.  I often tell patients; a moving joint is a happy joint.  When the joint is moving better, the muscles around that joint can then move better.  Function of that area improves, inflammation can decrease, and the entire area will typically experience pain relief. 

We have multiple ways of adjusting patients in our office.  I can adjust patients using my hands.  This encompasses multiple techniques.  This form of adjusting often leads to the clicking, popping, or cracking noises that often get associated with a chiropractic adjustment.

For patients who do not like the “crack” of a hands-on adjustment, you are in luck!  We also perform instrument adjustments.  We have a tool called an activator.  This is a hand-held single impact device that can be used to stimulate movement in the joint.  We have another device that is an electronic hand-held device called an Arthrostim.  This can deliver multiple quick impacts in a short period of time to a joint.  The chiropractic table itself can also help deliver adjustments.  The table allows us to adjust patients using drops.  This is when the force generated, between the patient's body weight, gravity, and some added pressure from the chiropractor, allows us to create movement in the joint.  Our table also has a special feature that allow us to flex and distract the spine.  While this feels more like a stretch to the patient, this is actually an adjustment that is opening and moving the joint spaces of the spine. (This is an excellent form of treatment for disc injuries)
