Chiropractors use the spinal adjustment as the main method of spinal correction. A spinal adjustment is a precise, manually delivered, gentle force into a stuck or misaligned joint. Adjustments improve range-of-motion (flexibility) and can result in a sensation of well being due to improved nerve and vascular (circulatory) function.

Subluxation
Chiropractic is the art and science of detecting spinal misalignments, called subluxations, and correcting them naturally and painlessly, without the use of drugs or surgery. When spinal irritation to the nerves is reduced, nerve function is restored, and the body typically returns to a more optimal state, resulting in improved health.
Manipulation Therapy
Chiropractic care for patients with low back pain (LBP) not only includes spinal manipulation or non surgical Spinal Decompression but also patient education in regards to heat/ice, performing daily activities and exercise.

Therapeutic Exercise
Sprains and strains are two of the most common causes of back pain. They can be caused by trauma, overuse, lack of conditioning, and improper body mechanics. The term sprain is used when this injury occurs in a ligament. Conversely, strain is used when the affected tissue is muscle or tendon. Typically, patients will complain of increased pain with activity and relief at rest. Treatment will often include a period of rest followed by a therapeutic exercise program to increase flexibility and strength.
Acupuncture
“I was going for acupuncture, but after 10 treatments I still found I had so much pain down my right leg that I could not walk more than a half a block without sitting down until the pain subsided. Then I read an ad in the paper about the DRX9000. Although skeptical at first I decided to give it a shot.... After three treatments on the DRX9000 my posture was erect and I had little or no pain down my leg. I would recommend this treatment to anyone who suffers the same pain as I. Thanking you again.”
