Chiropractic Adjustments
The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “ spinal manipulation ” also called “ chiropractic adjustment “. The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the sufferer.

Chiropractic Adjustments
The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “ spinal manipulation ” also called “ chiropractic adjustment “. The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the sufferer.
Spinal Adjustments
Doctors of Chiropractic are uniquely trained in the detection and correction of “ vertebral subluxations ” which impede vital nerve impulses. For this reason, the spinal adjustment plays a crucial role in the recovery of a patient. Thus, chiropractic is a health care science that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health.
Intersegmental Traction
Subluxation
Manipulation Therapy
The roots of chiropractic care can be traced all the way back to the beginning of recorded time. Writings from China and Greece written in 2700 B.C. and 1500 B.C. mention spinal manipulation and the maneuvering of the lower extremities to ease low back pain. Hippocrates, the Greek physician, who lived from 460 to 357 B.C., also published texts detailing the importance of chiropractic care. In one of his writings he declares, “Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases”.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression Therapy utilizes a unique equipment designed to gently and effectively reduce disc bulges and disc herniations as well as increase spinal mobility. By applying a targeted pull to the spine with specific angles and calculated weight, spinal decompression therapy causes a 1-2 mm opening of the involved disc. This opening allows for a “vacuum” effect to happen to the bulging/herniated material, and effectively pulls the material back away from the irritated nerve leading to pain relief. Spinal decompression is not traction which has poorer results.
Myofascial Therapy
Myofascial release is extremely effective in pain management and increasing flexibility. Soft tissue injuries, either acute or chronic, will lead to inflammation and tissue repair. Sometimes injured tissues do not heal properly resulting in adhesions, scar tissue, or trigger points in the belly of the muscle. Many patients seek myofascial treatment after losing flexibility or function following an injury or if experiencing ongoing back, shoulder, neck, hip pain or virtually pain in any area containing soft tissue.
Acupressure
Acupuncture
Dating over 5,000 years old, acupuncture is an ancient health science which is used to successfully treat both pain and dysfunction in the body. Historians have stated “More people have benefited from acupuncture over the course of fifty centuries than the combined total of all other healing sciences, both ancient and modern”.
Disc Herniation Treatment
This clinical outcomes study was performed to evaluate the effect of spinal decompression on symptoms and physical findings of patients with herniated and degenerative disc disease. Results showed that 86% of the 219 patients who completed the therapy reported immediate resolution of symptoms, while 84% remained pain-free 90 days post-treatment. Physical examination findings showed improvement in 92% of the 219 patients, and remained intact in 89% of these patients 90 days after treatment. This study shows that disc disease—the most common cause of back pain, which costs the American health care system more than $50 billion annually—can be cost-effectively treated using spinal decompression. The cost for successful non-surgical therapy is less than a tenth of that for surgery. These results show that biotechnological advances of spinal decompression reveal promising results for the future of effective management of patients with disc herniation and degenerative disc diseases. Long-term outcome studies are needed to determine if non-surgical treatment prevents later surgery, or merely delays it.
