The term "adjustment" refers to the specific force chiropractors apply to the vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally.

Chiropractic adjustments help keep the spine in alignment, reduce subluxations, increase range of motion, reduce nerve irritability, reduce muscle spasm, reduce pain and improve function. 

A chiropractic adjustment is a quick thrust applied to a vertebra for the purpose of correcting its position, movement or both. Sometimes you may hear a "cracking" sound when adjusted. This is just an audible release of gas in the spinal joints that sounds like a "crack"  or "pop" this is safe and normal. This sound sometimes surprises people the first time they get adjusted, but the adjustment usually results in a relieving "ahhhh" from the patient. 

There are several adjusting techniques, some that we offer are: Palmer, Webster, Gonstead, Activator, Thompson-Drop, and Cox Flexion/Distraction.  We can discuss these adjusting techniques and an individualized treatment plan that is best for you.

The goal of receiving adjustments is to restore the body to its natural state of optimal health! In order to accomplish this, our chiropractors can use and recommend a variety of natural healing methods...such as spinal adjustments, massage, trigger point therapy, nutrition, exercise rehabilitation, and lifestyle issues that may be impacting your health.

 The primary focus is simply to remove those interferences which could be blocking the body's natural normal healing ability. We may also use other therapeutics including; electrical stimulation (e-stim), ultrasound, traction, decompression, laser, acupuncture and other manual therapies.

Some of our offices also provide a variety of wellness services. We can help educate and discuss a variety of subjects with you. We like for you to understand the benefits of being in alignment, having improved posture, and even improved ergonomics while you work.  We encourage a healthy lifestyle that could also possibly include weight management, relaxation strategies, nutrition, stretching and exercise.  Looking at you "as a whole" helps us to understand your specific symptoms and lifestyle.

Our team of chiropractors understand that within each of us is an innate wisdom and healthy energy that will express itself as better health and wellness... if we allow it to!  Your body has that innate ability and wisdom, we can help keep your spine in alignment and body functioning properly. Once these interferences are reduced, we hope you will experience not only pain relief, but see improvement in your overall health!
