Chiropractic Care
One of the most common and well known therapeutic procedures performed by doctors of chiropractic is spinal manipulation (sometimes referred to as a “chiropractic adjustment”). The purpose of spinal manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypo-mobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury.
Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. |
In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for an individual. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, allowing tissues to heal.
Chiropractic adjustment rarely causes discomfort. However, patients may sometimes experience mild soreness or aching following treatment (as with some forms of exercise) that usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours. Compared to other common treatments for pain, such as over-the-counter and prescription pain medications, chiropractic’s conservative approach offers a safe and effective option. |
Decompression Therapy
Decompression Therapy is a form of decompression therapy that relieves pressure on the spine. It can be performed manually or mechanically. Decompression Therapy stretches the spine to take pressure off compressed discs. This straightens the spine and improves the body’s ability to heal itself.
People with spinal conditions benefit from this therapy because the traction reverses the force of gravity. It is most commonly used to treat:

Physical Therapy
We use physical therapy in the form of passive or active therapy. Through active physical therapy, patients must actively participate in learning and performing the recommended exercises, stretches, and other treatments. In short, the patient must exert physical work. Passive physical therapy means the patient is the submissive recipient of treatment, or having the treatment done to them, as opposed to doing the action themselves. Generally speaking, passive therapy is meant for acute pain, such as lower back pain after a strain, rather than chronic conditions. |
We also offer rehab with therapeutic exercises. Therapeutic exercises are movements and physical activities designed to restore function and flexibility, improve strength and decrease pain.
