CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT
An adjustment applies a gentle, controlled force into joints that have become restricted. This adjustment is done by hand, in a table-assisted technique, or a technique using a specialized tool called an Activator. Subluxations, or misalignments of the spine, put pressure on the nerves, and adjustments are often painless and improve joint mobility. Our nerves carry messages from our brain to every cell in our body. Relieving the pressure on our nerves, allows the body to function at its best which is why chiropractic care is so important.
Subluxations can be caused by a single traumatic event, a fall or improper lifting of a heavy object, giving birth, or even repetitive stresses, such as sitting all day with poor spinal posture, pregnancy or sleeping in a poor position. Chiropractic adjustments restore mobility, ease pain and muscle tightness, increase range of motion and allow the tissues to heal. Chiropractic care can also be helpful with chronic conditions such as degenerative arthritis, circulatory disorders, constipation, depression, balance and coordination problems, osteoporosis, and joint issues.
COLD LASER THERAPY
Cold Laser Therapy is a treatment that uses wavelengths of light to interact with cells and tissue providing increased circulation to the targeted area, accelerating natural healing, reducing inflammation and breaking up scar tissue. Patients find that cold laser therapy decreases healing time and severity of injuries, providing pain relief for over 300 issues. Cold laser therapy is pain free, drug free, and non-addictive in a service lasting 10 and 15 minutes.
Cold laser is used to relieve pain for a wide variety of ailments that include:
Arthritis and Tendonitis
Plantar Fasciitis and Bursitis
Sports injuries and soft tissue injuries
Muscle strain and ligament strain
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Back pain
and many more
ATHLETE CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Athletes may notice improved athletic performance with routine adjustments including better flexibility, improved range of motion, increased blood flow, and fewer injuries. High-impact sports can place the same amount of strain on the body as an auto collision. Routine chiropractic adjustments help ensure that the body functions as efficiently as possible, which can maximize healing and recovery from all types of injuries and help improve athletic performance.
FAMILY + CHILD CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Like adults, children develop spinal subluxations but this doesn’t generally cause back pain as it does in adults. Falls, sports injuries, playground bumps, heavy school bags and sitting all day in the classroom are all physical stresses to the growing child’s spine and nervous system.
Chiropractic care in children can help reduce symptoms such as sleep disturbances, reflux, ear infections, colic, constipation, bed wetting, and more.
Dr. Amy is experienced and enjoys working on chiropractic adjustments on children to improve their quality of life.
PRENATAL CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Gentle chiropractic adjustments provide relief from the typical aches and pains of pregnancy. Half of all expectant mothers will develop low-back pain at some point during their pregnancies, especially during late pregnancy when the sciatic nerve is likely to be irritated due to the placement of the baby.
During pregnancy, a woman’s center of gravity shifts to the front of her pelvis, increasing the stress on the joints. As the baby grows, the curvature of her lower back is further increased, placing extra stress on the spine and also increasing the normal curvature of the upper spine. These natural aches and pains can be relieved with prenatal chiropractic care.
