Chiropractic Care in is popular. 

Our population has a passion for fitness and exercise.  Chiropractic treatment helps keep neck pain, back pain and other body aches from slowing us down.

Neck pain and back pain typically respond very well to chiropractic treatment.  Chiropractic care helps restore normal joint motion which is vital to a healthy neck and back.

One of the wonderful benefits of chiropractic treatment is its ability to help active people avoid neck pain, back pain and other spinal injuries. 

Getting chiropractic adjustments in a regular basis helps your spine maintain its full range of motion and flexibility.  Typically, it is a loss of normal range of motion and flexibility that exposes us to injuries.  Chiropractic care that is delivered prior to an aggravation, in other words “when the patient is not in pain” is a perfect example of preventative healthcare.

Chiropractic adjustments gently push the joint through its entire range of motion.  When your joints are moved through their full range of motion by a trained chiropractor, tight muscles associated with that joint are stretched out and scar tissue that has formed in and around those joints is broken down.

Usually, having your spine adjusted is not a painful procedure.  Most of the time, the patients in my chiropractic clinic feel a sense of pressure relief and relaxation in their backs when they are adjusted. 

This feeling of pressure release and relaxation is due to a number events that occur during an adjustment.

When the spine is adjusted, there is a reflexive relaxation of tight muscles that occurs.  Relaxed muscles are much more comfortable than tight, spasmed muscles. 

Another event that takes place with an adjustment involves the “pain gate”.  Adjustments trigger the “pain gate” in the nervous system which, as it implies, decreases our sensations of pain.

On a mechanical level, chiropractic care stretches tight muscle and ligaments and helps breakdown restrictive scar tissue.  This effect improves our spines’ range of motion resulting is feeling of increased flexibility.

As a chiropractor, a healthy percentage of my treatments revolve around spinal maintenance and improving athletic performance.

Chiropractic treatment is a vital part of maintaining your health.
