Many people use chiropractic care for the treatment of headaches, back and neck pain, auto and work injuries, sports injuries, as well as daily wear and tear from driving, sitting at the computer, using mobile devices, holding children, etc.
At Elite chiropractic we use a combination of onsite x-rays, spinal motion and orthopedic tests to evaluate your spinal alignment for subluxations. These are misalignments in the spine which can cause a movement fixation of the joints and lead to inflammation at the nerve roots which can cause pain and loss of nerve function. From there we will develop a customized treatment plan for your condition. We use various adjusting techniques that don’t involve twisting the neck including drop table and instrument adjusting. The use of supportive stretches and exercises may also be used to help retrain, strengthen and stabilize your spine to the ideal structure.
Some people receive treatment to only get rid of the pain while other people continue spinal corrective care to further improve alignment, range of motion, function and stability. The choice is yours. The degree of which someone’s spine changes and timeframe it takes varies from person to person. Instead of long-term contracts we treat for a brief period, and then reassess to see how much your spine has changed and tailor you plan of care to your specific needs.
We will also go over ergonomics for daily activities such as sitting, driving, sleeping and electronic device usage to minimize daily stress accumulating in your body that can potentially be the cause of your spinal misalignments in the first place.
