Chiropractic Therapy

Chiropractic therapy is a holistic form of treatment that uses the body's natural ability to heal itself in order to treat physical, mental and emotional conditions. This is done by focusing on the spinal cord, which is connected to virtually all of the body's tissues and organs through the nervous system. It is believed that the misalignment of the spinal cord is often the cause of headaches, neck and lower back pain, as well as many other conditions.

Chiropractic therapy can be used to:

• Relieve head, neck and back pain
• Improve the function of the immune system
• Prevent surgery on the back, neck or spine
• Improve respiratory function
• Provide an improved overall sense of well-being

It can also be used to treat many other conditions associated with pain and dysfunction, including migraines, chronic fatigue, autism, fibromyalgia, scoliosis and others.

Chiropractic therapy is an ongoing form of treatment that not only relieves symptoms, but also prevents the condition from recurring. Treatment is usually recommended on a routine basis to maintain the health of your spine or other affected areas, as well as when symptoms are present. The frequency and duration of treatment usually depends on the type and severity of the condition, as well as the patients age and overall health.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulation, this is the most common chiropractic procedure and helps restore joint mobility by applying a controlled force to joints that have been damaged by tissue injury. Adjustments can also help prevent or reduce the amount of wear and tear on the joints by ensuring that the joint is working smoothly.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation

This treatment transmits low-frequency electrical currents through affected muscles, nerves and tissue to reduce pain. The currents help the body secrete endorphins and other natural painkillers that relieve pain caused by muscle strains, spasms and other injuries.

Moist Heat Therapy

Moist heat is applied to an injured area to dilate the capillaries and increase blood flow. This ensures that the damaged tissues receive the nutrients and oxygen they need to expedite the healing process. The heat from this treatment can also reduce pain and muscle spasms temporarily.

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy helps reduce pain, muscle spasms and joint contractures by applying ultrasound waves to the affected area. The vibrations from the waves penetrate the tissue and create a heat response that helps to heal the damaged tissue.
