Chiropractors are non-surgical spine and extremity specialists that improve the health and wellness of the body by way of ensuring joints are properly aligned and can move through their full range of motion while reducing pain, inflammation, tension, and more.
Chiropractic care can reduce nerve compression, relieve muscle tension, and promote natural healing by restoring proper alignment and function to the spine and joints through adjustments, trigger point therapy, and other non-invasive means.
This method offers effective pain management for many conditions such as back and neck pain, headaches, and joint discomfort.
In short--
Together, we get you moving better,
then you should be feeling better,
and overall functioning better
First, a thorough history---
When I work with my patients I want to have a good understanding of what your body has gone through- surgeries, injuries, medications, prior illnesses or conditions, day-to-day activities, even your work and your hobbies can be important!
Think of it like the service history of your car or truck - any accidents, repairs, and the like can impact what can be done to improve the situation and what to expect over a course of care.
Next, a physical exam focusing on restriction of movement and its relation to your pain and symptoms, posture assessment, relative nervous system function, and any related and relevant orthopedic tests.
It is at this stage we usually know if you are a good candidate for chiropractic care- in some instances I will order out for additional imaging. In rare cases, I may refer you to another facility if your particular needs would best be met by another provider.
Every course of care will be tailored to each patient's needs - some people prefer not to have the joints pop, for example.
This is why I have numerous techniques that I employ to best suit each situation
-Diversified -Drop Technique -Flexion-Distraction -Tool-Assisted -And more
With new patients and people new to chiropractic care in general, I take my time explaining what it is that I'm doing and why. Often this helps my patients understand more about what their body is trying to tell them - By taking the time to listen to how your body whispers, you don't have to hear it scream.
An adjustment is one of the techniques I can utilize which generates more fluid, pain-free motion in the joint being targeted. This is accomplished by bringing the region being addressed to tension before applying a short impulse. I try to find the most effective way to encourage the most positive change with these corrections.
Another tool at my disposal would be muscle work. While massage therapy looks to relax the muscles, trigger point therapy is a bit different. Myofascial trigger points, also known as muscle knots, can be painful and problematic for many people experiencing musculoskeletal pain. Direct compression of these points serve to release these spots in a similar way to how someone could attend to a muscle cramp - the difficulty comes with tracking down the true culprit for your symptoms.
Every problem needs the right professional with the right tools for the job
