Meet the Doctor
Chiropractors deal with subluxations. A subluxation is a partial or incomplete dislocation of a joint. The contact between the joint surfaces remains, but the relationship is altered in terms of motion and alignment.
A subluxation is a response to stress, whether it be a physical stress (trauma), emotional, or chemical. Muscles get tight. Joints don’t move as they should. Adjacent nerves are irritated. These nerves are part of a nervous system that controls every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. Irritated nerves garble communication between your brain and parts of your body.
Chiropractic adjustments add motion to these stuck joints, reducing nervous system disruption.
Sometimes a specific, highly-accurate thrust is used. Other times an instrument delivers carefully directed energy. Maybe a slow, constant pressure is used. Several areas may be adjusted or just one. Sometimes a popping sound is heard. Most patients report a feeling of pressure being relieved.
Newborns, infants, children, pregnant mothers, seniors and even back surgery patients can get adjusted. Naturally, adjustments are tailored to your size, age and particular health issue.
Extremities. If it’s a joint, it can be adjusted! Chiropractic care is not just for your spine. Knees, ankles, elbows, the TMJ, and ribs (to name a few) are often adjusted, too.
