We all have a complex structure of tendons, ligaments, bones and joints known as our musculoskeletal system.
These separate components are highly sensitive to positional change and need to function efficiently in order for the musculoskeletal system to avoid "wear-and-tear". It's the loss of function or "wear-and-tear" that causes most aches and pains. When the joints of the musculoskeletal system lose their mobility and do not participate in normal ranges of motion, we describe this as "joint fixation".
In order to correct the consequences of immobility or "joint fixation" chiropractors perform specific techniques known as adjustments. This manual procedure (adjustment) restores motion in the involved joint segments so that they work together optimally. Often adjunct therapies (muscle stimulation, ultrasound, myofascial techniques, etc.) are used during an office visit to make the treatment more efficacious. The primary advantages of chiropractic treatment are that it treats the source of the pain, no drugs are used, and it is completely natural.
If we determine your pain does not originate from your musculoskeletal system, then the appropriate referral is made.
