Chiropractic health treatment is spinal manipulation, often called the "adjustment". It may involve gentle pressure, or a quick thrust to restore normal motion to joints that have become restricted or "locked". Doctors of Chiropractic have the most extensive experience and education in manipulation. Numerous scientific studies have proven the safety, efficacy, cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction of spinal manipulation.
Your Scheduled Care
We have a planned method of treatment for each type of disorder. However, we know that even though two patients may have the same disorder, they will not necessarily progress in the same manner. Every patient is an individual who must be studied and analyzed as such. We believe in personal attention and individual care. The responses you get from any treatment program is directly related to the commitment you give to the program. Results will deptn on the regularity of your appointment schedule.
X-Ray Findings
Generally speaking x-rays reveal dislocation and subluxations of the vertebrae. Your spinal x-rays bringing the vertebrae and surrounding
area into veiw so we can analyze the affected areas and correctly evaluate nerve interference. The areas of nerve impingement, as revealed by your
x-rays, will be diagrammed and explained in detail during your case evaluation.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves and it is administered in the region of soft tissue injuries. The sound waves, some moving with a frequency of 1,000,000 waves per second, penetrate into deep into the tissues. The vibrations and heat break down and disperse unhealthy calcium and other hard tissue accumulations.
Ultrasound stimulated healing without irritation enhances the body's natural healing ability. It is effective in treating calcium deposition, speeds metabolism and improves blood flow and reduces nerve root irritation. The treatment can be administered directly to the affected area and it penetrates deeply. As the temperature rises, blood flow increases and muscle spasms relax thus speeding up the healing process. |
