Spinal Adjustment

A spinal adjustment is the art of using a specific force in a precise direction, applied to a joint that is not moving properly. This adds motion to the joint, helping the bones to gradually move to the normal position. The purpose of this Spinal Adjustment procedure is for improved spinal function, improved nervous system function, and overall improved health.

There are many ways to adjust the spine. Usually the doctor's hands or a specially designed instrument delivers a brief and highly accurate thrust. Some spinal adjusting methods are quick, whereas others require a slow, constant pressure. After years of training and clinical experience, each chiropractor becomes highly skilled in the variety of spinal adjustment procedures, and spinal manipulation.

Massage Therapy
Deep tissue massage by a massage therapist offers many medical benefits and is one of the best methods to relieve stress, headaches and pain. Through manipulation of the muscles and pressure to the body, massage therapy increases circulation, sending oxygen throughout the body.
