WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT AND WHAT IS IT THAT WE DO?
Before I answer that, let me state that 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 strengthen supporting musculature. Standard 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 IT S BEST IF ITS FORM IS NOT CORRECTED. You can go through surgery, take epidurals, and traction your spine for ever, but if you do not correct the form of your body it will have limited improvement.

What really happens when you injure your spine is that the bone 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 forward, your body will twist itself in order to keep itself as straight up 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. 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 injured yourself, and how badly. 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.
