Comprehensive Chiropractic Care

The chiropractic adjustment is the cornerstone of my work. The manual thrust to the spinal segments releases the joints to restore proper dynamics and motion, which in turn enhances proper spinal nerve activity, vital to good health.

I often include a protocol of other therapeutic modalities to assist the adjustment, such as:

Therapeutic stretching exercises to improve mobilty of stiffened areas;

Moist heat to dilate blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissue, and to loosen the area to make my adjustments release the joints more easily;

Ice therapy is used when there is acute inflammation, such as in a new injury or a flare up of an old one;

Acupressure to calm down hyperactive nerve firing or muscle guarding;

Friction massage to stimulate soft tissue repair and facilitate drainage of edema/swelling.
