Our Treatment Program

OUR TREATMENT PROGRAM

We use the Adjust-Support-Rehabilitate treatment program at our office with the goal of helping our patients achieve long-term, total body wellness. As you browse our website, you'll see that neck and back pain are only small pieces of the puzzle and just the beginning of how chiropractic can help you. In the big picture of your health, the true premise of chiropractic care is to help you achieve and maintain optimal health by ensuring both the proper structural and functional support of your body through a preventive and proactive approach to your health.

We confidently stand behind our treatment program because it goes much farther than simply treating pain. Pain is merely a symptom of your problem. Our treatment program is effective because it takes a whole body approach to your care. This helps us treat your condition more effectively and minimize, or eliminate, any contributing or exacerbating factors to your condition, putting you on the road to recovery and long-term wellness.

Below is an explanation of each component and why we utilize this program at our office:

ADJUST

The first step in any wellness program starts with chiropractic adjustments. Chiropractic adjustments balance your spine, normalize joint function, relieve stress on your muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves and restores your body's natural ability to heal itself. From a chiropractic perspective, we believe that optimal structure and optimal function go hand in hand for good health. The perfect example of this is a spinal subluxation or misalignment.

The spinal column is designed to not only be flexible to allow us movement and mobility, but also to house and protect the central nervous system, which is the equivalent of a master control system that coordinates, controls and regulates the function of every organ, tissue and cell in your entire body. When there is a misalignment of a spinal joint, it not only restricts normal spinal movement which can lead to postural distortions, pain syndromes and accelerated degenerative processes such as arthritis if left uncorrected, it also impinges on the spinal nerve that exits between the vertebrae and affects all the functions throughout the body that the impinged spinal nerve is responsible for. This causes decreased function of your body, which has a negative effect on your overall health. These spinal misalignments are removed with chiropractic adjustments to restore your body's structural and functional integrity.

SUPPORT

If a house's foundation is not  solid, the house is unstable. Your feet are your body's foundation and any imbalances in your feet can create postural distortions that can place excessive stress on your body's joints. Before long-term improvement can be achieved, these postural distortions must be reduced. To ensure the long-term effectiveness of your adjustments, we recommend Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers to provide your body with the proper structural support. Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers are custom-made orthotics that you wear in your shoes that are specifically designed for each individual's unique postural and weight bearing patterns. Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers help create a balanced foundation for your body. They work by supporting all three arches of each foot to help keep your body properly balanced and supported. Stabilizing the spine and pelvis provides long lasting results, maximizes the effectiveness of your adjustments and is a key part of ensuring long-term, improved spinal health.

REHABILITATE

The final component of our treatment program is soft tissue rehabilitation. We develop a specific rehabilitation program for each of our patients that can consist of decompression therapy, intersegmental traction and specific rehabilitative exercises and even massage therapy. Each rehab program is customized specifically to each patient based on their unique injuries, conditions and postural needs to reduce pain, strengthen the body's core, reduce postural distortions, improve balance and coordination, stretch tight muscles, strengthen weak muscles, optimize range of motion and mobility and reduce the risk for future injuries and re-injury.
