Yes, that is our primary function
Sort of. We place a pressure, the body does the rest.
Yes! We are trained to notice when and where the alignment of the spine and/or extremities need to be realigned, and using special techniques, we ASSIST YOU with proper alignment.
Absolutely. It’s their main job. The reason they do that is to de-stress and balance brain and nervous system function. Pain relief is just a great side-effect if your brain and nervous system being balanced.
Yes that is what we do.
Chiropractic adjustment is a procedure in which trained specialists (chiropractors) use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint. The goal of this procedure, also known as spinal manipulation, is to improve spinal motion and improve your body's physical function.
I don't like the tern "alignment". In my opinion treating the spine is about function. Everybody's spine is different and responds differently. Causes can be anomalies from birth, injuries, degeneration and/or postural. The goal is to make the spine work well within its own structural parameters. The exception of this is diagnosis and treatment of Scoliosis in youth and elderly. In the young and during the degeneration of old age it is possible if the diagnosis is early enough to modify, slow down and in a few cases stop or reverse the scoliotic process.
That is our Primary goal.
Yes this is the primary therapy which Chiropractors utilise.
