Chiropractic Care
We utilize acupuncture typically first, to reduce the pain, but if I find that they have a structural anomaly, then I evalutilize chiropractic techniques to balance the pelvis as well as the spine.
One of the ways that we do that is through what we call "leg checks" to see if one leg is a little longer than the other. If it's short on the left and then lengthens, that's a good indication that it is coming from the pelvis. So what we do then is called a Pressure Test where we push in the direction that we think that the patient is out of alignment- and then we come back and check the leg length again to give us an indication how we need to adjust the patient.
Then, in those cases where the patient does not want to be forcefully (manually) manipulated, then we utilize an instrument called an Activator or called an Integrator to push the spine back into its proper position through a little thrusting motion.
What Chiropractice Is:
Usually, chiropractice involves manual therapy such as spinal and joint adjustments. If vertebrae are abnormally positioned or otherwise restricting your nervous system, it may result in many different conditions of diminished health- as well as pain. Chiropractice deals primarily with helping people recover from various mechanical disorders, physical problems, and general health issues caused from the nervous system being restricted.
