Health & Rehabilitation Services

Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, primarily involving the spine. 

Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. Central to chiropractic care is the concept of subluxation, which refers to a misalignment or partial dislocation of the vertebrae. Chiropractors believe that subluxations can interfere with the nervous system’s function, leading to pain, dysfunction, and various health problems.

A chiropractic adjustment is a manual procedure where the chiropractor applies controlled force to specific areas of the spine to improve alignment and function

A chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation, is a hands-on technique used by chiropractors to correct misalignments in the spine, known as subluxations.  During the adjustment, the chiropractor uses their hands or a specialized instrument to apply a controlled, force to the affected vertebrae.This action is precise and directed to specific areas of the spine where subluxations are present.

Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate pain, improve spinal alignment, and enhance overall function. This treatment is beneficial for back pain, neck pain, and other musculoskeletal issues.

The chiropractic adjustment helps realign the vertebrae to their proper position, which can restore normal motion and function to the spine. By correcting the alignment, the chiropractor removes the subluxation, reducing pressure on nerves and allowing the nervous system to function optimally.

Removing subluxations can alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and enhance overall function. Many patients experience immediate relief, while others may require a series of adjustments to achieve the best results.
