Reaching Your Maximum Potential

When your nervous system, muscular system, and skeletal system are all working efficiently together you can then reach your maximum potential. Chiropractors use spinal manipulation, mobilization, and adjunctive therapies, to restore or to enhance joint function and reduce pain. As well, Chiropractors are highly trained neuromusculoskeletal specialists who know how to diagnose, evaluate, and treat your nervous system, muscular system, and skeletal system.

Chiropractic Manipulation As A Therapeutic Treatment for Lower Back Pain.

If you have lower back pain, then our Chiropractic team would use manual manipulation of the abnormal vertebra to improve functionality, reduce nerve irritability and restore range of motion in the back.

Manual Manipulation 

Manual Manipulation is the application of an accurately determined and specifically directed manual force to the body, in order to improve mobility in areas that are restricted; in joints, in connective tissues or in skeletal muscles. Taken From Spine Health

What Does A Chiropractic Adjustment Involve? 

A chiropractic adjustment typically involves:

• A high velocity, short lever arm thrust applied to a vertebra
• An accompanying, audible release of gas (joint cavitation) that is caused by the release of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, which releases joint pressure (cavitation)19
• A relieving sensation most of the time, although minor discomfort has been reported (that usually lasts for a short time duration) if the surrounding muscles are in spasm or the patient tenses up during this chiropractic care.
