What Is Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is a natural healthcare service that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. It is a holistic and non-invasive approach that promotes the body’s natural healing abilities. We understand that each patient’s condition is unique, which is why we take the time to listen to our patients and develop a customized treatment plan that is tailored to their specific needs and goals.
At Integral Health, we are committed to providing high-quality care to our patients. Our team of experienced and licensed chiropractors uses a variety of techniques, including spinal manipulation, soft tissue therapy, and exercise therapy, to help our patients achieve their health and wellness goals.
In addition to our chiropractic services, we also provide our patients with education and advice on how to maintain a healthy spine and prevent future injuries. We believe in empowering our patients to take an active role in their healthcare, and we work with them to develop strategies for improving their overall health and wellness.
A Spinal Manipulation Or Adjustment: What It Is
An “adjustment” is the term for manual manipulation of your spine’s vertebrae or other joints, which is one of a chiropractor’s most popular therapies. Your chiropractor will apply controlled force to your joint while performing an adjustment by using their hands to move it through a range of motion. This procedure enhances the function of your joint and restores its normal range of motion. When used on your spine, this technique is known as spinal manipulation therapy (SMT). Other joints, such as those in your wrist, ankle, or foot, may also be subjected to manipulation as a successful treatment.
