Chiropractic Adjustment
At the heart of chiropractic care is the adjustment, a gentle and specific technique applied to the spine. Think of an adjustment as a way to help your body communicate better by correcting something called a vertebral subluxation—a fancy term for misalignment in your spine that can interfere with your nervous system’s signals. The goal of these adjustments is to realign your spine, promoting better health and well-being.
During an adjustment, your chiropractor places you on a specially designed table and applies gentle pressure to the parts of your spine that need a little extra attention. They use their hands and specific techniques to help those joints move properly again. Sometimes, you might hear a little “pop,” which is just gas being released from the joint fluid.
Every person is unique, which means every adjustment is tailored just for you. Factors like your age, size, and specific spinal concerns all play a role in how your chiropractor approaches your care. Ultimately, adjustments help clear interference in your nerve impulses from subluxations or other stresses, allowing your body to function naturally and feel its best. So, let’s work together on your journey to better health!
Diversified Technique: This technique is designed to gently support the body by focusing on the movement of individual segments. If a particular area of the spine is restricted or moving less freely, we apply a caring hand adjustment to help restore that motion. We understand that restricted joints can lead to discomfort and changes in posture, and our goal is to help you feel more at ease and balanced.
Thompson Technique: This approach involves taking a thoughtful look at leg length to identify where any subluxations or misalignments may be present. By utilizing a segmental drop table for adjustments, we aim to ease muscle tension, allowing for a smoother and more relaxed correction of those restricted joints. Our intention is to help you find relief and improve your overall well-being.
Activator Technique: Similar to the Thompson technique, this one also starts with an analysis of leg length while incorporating gentle movements to pinpoint any imbalances. Instead of manual adjustments, this technique uses a specialized instrument, making it a gentle option for those who may be apprehensive about traditional adjustments. We strive to create a comfortable experience for everyone, especially for those who prefer to avoid the “crack” or “pop” sounds often associated with other methods.
Webster Technique: Primarily designed for expectant mothers, this technique offers a thoughtful analysis and gentle adjustments to help reduce any effects of sacral and pelvic misalignments. We deeply care about enhancing neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis, as we believe this can significantly support a mother's journey toward childbirth. Recognizing that sacral misalignment may contribute to difficulties during labor, we focus on finding comfort and balance to help the baby assume the best position for a smoother delivery. Your comfort and well-being are our top priorities as we navigate this journey together.
