Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a science that calls on your body's own healing ability to repair itself.  There are no drugs.  Chiropractic focuses on the spine, how it moves, and even more importantly, the spinal cord and nerves that the spine protects.

There are 24 moveable bones or vertebrae that make up the spine.  Stress, poor posture, accidents, and overuse are just a few of the many things that can cause problems.  When spinal movement is impaired, it causes pain and discomfort.  Headaches, neck pain, and lower back pain can interfere with job performance, athletic activities and interactions with family and friends.

Using his knowledge of bio-mechanical structural problems, Dr. Michael works to correct the condition presented and relieve the cause of your pain.

The Consultation: What to Expect

On your first visit, the doctor will evaluate your current state of health and explore your health history.  After a thorough discussion, the doctor will perform a physical examination that includes special assessments to locate the areas of pain, restriction of motion, muscle imbalances, and full extent of your problem.

X-rays may be taken to analyze structural imbalances, and rule out underlying pathology.  MRI scans are ordered when necessary.

After completely assessing your condition, diagnosis and treatment recommendations will be made to ensure the most effective and the quickest recovery possible.

Most often your treatment would include adjustments which are performed by the doctor.  Your care may also include other therapies such as application of hot or cold packs, therapeutic exercise programs, intersegmental traction, nutrition counseling, taping and helpful education on your condition.
