Chiropractic is a hands on, conservative,
alternative health care approach to better health
and increase livelihood through diet, exercise and
manipulation. We consider ourselves neuromusculoskeletal
(nerve-muscle-skeleton) specialists.
What
is Manipulation?
The manipulation (also known as an
adjustment) is a high velocity, low amplitude thrust
given to a specific joint in order to provide a therapeutic
result. Not all manipulations are the same and our
Chiropractors use the techniques they feel best meets
the individual patient's condition.
Does
the manipulation hurt?
The manipulation can sometimes cause
some minor discomfort, but it is not usually considered
painful. The patients may feel sore after their first
couple of treatments, kind of like the feeling you
may get after going to the gym for the first time
in a while. The manipulation is a safe and conservative
form of treatment for a variety of extremity &
spinal conditions.
