Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care focuses on spinal function as the essential component of enjoying free and comfortable movement. Spinal adjustment realigns the vertebrae of the spine, which is key to ensuring good movement. Your chiropractor may also recommend spinal decompression, a treatment that uses special equipment to gently separate the spinal vertebrae to relieve pressure on the discs that act as shock absorbers for the spinal bones, and also relieves compression of nerves that are connected to the spine. A number of soft tissue techniques can also be used to relieve discomfort and promote the body’s natural healing processes.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a technique that has been used for thousands of years to increase circulation to affected areas and stimulate the production of natural biochemicals that relieve pain and facilitate healing. Massage is recognized as a valuable adjunct therapy that can be used along with, or instead of, other types of medical treatment.

Acupuncture

Another ancient healing method, acupuncture, uses very fine needles that are inserted into the body at specific points, to block pain signals to the brain and stimulate beneficial body chemicals. The needles are sterilized, only cause a slight pinching sensation, have no negative side effects, and can be highly effective for patients who dislike taking strong medications or who need additional relief from painful symptoms.
