WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT?

There are many approaches to helping various conditions. A medical doctor might first prescribe a medication to relieve inflammation and pain.  Physical Therapists work to improve muscle imbalances  and conventional Chiropractic often addresses the reduction of pain and increasing joint motion. These are all well and good, but there is more, much more to correcting the problem. A body WILL NOT PERFORM AT ITS BEST IF ITS FORM IS NOT CORRECTED. You can go through surgery, have epidural shots, and traction your spine forever, but if you do not correct the form of your body it will have limited improvement.  All of the above disciplines have missed 2 key factors. The body, The WHOLE BODY works as a unit. Treating   the neck, shoulder, low back , ankle or whatever injured part alone,  will never result in a straight, flexable, optimally functioning body.  That is why people have to "manage" pain.. No one  is actually fixing the root problem by making the spine straighter! Even  world class athletes are constantly getting injured. Because no one until now  had figured how to make a crooked structure ( your spine) straight again.  So many back surgeries fail not because the surgeon was unskilled in his craft  but because he or she is is unable  to address the dysfunctions ("crookedness") that is occuring in the rest of the body. The  secound key factor in  structurally correcting human bodies is that you must correct only the bones that have slipped foward by pushing  them gently backward.  These 2 key factor and the corrective  procedures were discovered by Dr.  L Ward and Dr  Jesse Jutkowitz (The founder of Advanced Biostructural Correction).   It has been ten yrs. since I had the prodedure first done on myself by Dr Jutkowitz.  The benefits go beyond simply removing pain.  With continued care it has been my experience that the patient's neurological system functions at a fuller capacity.  As I stated in the Home page,  I am able to breathe, sleep, digest,  play,   in short function and live better.  The same is true for so many of our patients.

THE TRUE NATURE OF SPINAL INJURY

What really happens when you injure your spine is that the bone (when viewed from the side) slips forward. This tiny forward movement of the bone can occur in your neck, mid-back or lower back region. When the bone slips forward, your body has no way of pulling it back. Why? Because there are no muscles BEHIND your spine to pull the bones back into their correct position. There are muscles that pull the bones up or down, or to the left or right. There are even muscles in front of your spine to pull bones forward, but nothing to pull your bones back once they have slipped forward. In order to keep you from falling and bending  further forward, your body will twist itself in order to keep itself as upright as possible. Over time, your body can go too far in one direction and as a result begin to twist the other way. Thus, you may end up with two curves in your spine.  With proper treatment these dysfunctions can be corrected.

HOW DO YOU CORRECT THESE FORWARD SLIPPING BONES?

The key is to gently push the bones backward, one at a time. In a sense, this method restacks the spinal column into its correct position. The details of how this is accomplished is explained to you before your treatment begins. Your duration of care will vary, depending on how long ago you  were injured , and how severely. But most patients feel dramatically better on the first day, and many feel better within a day or two. In closing, let me thank you again for choosing our office, and get ready to feel better than you have in a long time.
