Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulation, is a technique that uses a high velocity but low amplitude (small movement) to move a joint. The pop that is often heard when this is performed is due to a small gas bubble that forms during the movement being released from the joint capsule. While adjustments are usually thought to be done on the spine, there are a variety of techniques to help other parts of the body including shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles. Remember, a joint is a joint, so as long as there is a capsule surrounding it – adjustments may be able to help your recovery process.

DOT Physicals

If you get paid to use a motor vehicle, you might need to have a DOT physical. The Department of Transportation (DOT) makes bus and truck drivers have this exam. We love doing these exams as it provides an opportunity to educate on healthy behaviors. As chiropractors, we are in a unique position to be the voice people need to hear. Self-care is critical whether it be an increase in exercise, improvement in dietary habits, increased water consumption, or simply some postural exercises. Even small changes can lead to great health improvement and DOT physicals allow time to educate on what they can do better — to be better.

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient’s return to optimal health.

Pediatric Chiropractic

Kids have spines too! If your child is telling you that something hurts or if they are getting frequent headaches, get them checked early. Children usually respond well to chiropractic and will often only need a few sessions to completely alleviate the condition. This will allow their body to grow and develop optimally.
