CHIROPRACTIC CARE

​A chiropractic adjustment is a manual adjustment or manipulation of a joint within the body. Although chiropractic is often times associated with the spine, the reality is that chiropractors can treat or manipulate any joint in the body, including, ankles, wrists, ribs and shoulders. The purpose of a chiropractic adjustment is to restore movement where it is has become restricted.

 

Many times restrictions are found in areas of "tension" or pain, but correcting for restrictions in areas without pain can prevent pain and injury in the future.  Many research studies support that chiropractic adjustment can increase immune system, increase functional mobility, and decrease pain.
