Chiropractic Care

Given how much time people spend sitting at their desk during the workday it’s no wonder that many of them have poor posture. In addition to providing chiropractic adjustments, we also teach patients how to sit properly.

Why is that important? “If you don’t know how to sit properly, you’re not going to heal,” said Dr Matt.

We can show you where your sitting bones are and explain the curves of the spine and basic anatomy information that you may never have learned before. We will discuss the importance of workplace ergonomics.

Each new patient receives comprehensive testing, including a posture screening to locate imbalances that indicate biomechanical changes. We’ll test the range of motion in all parts of your spine to pinpoint weaknesses. If necessary, we may perform x-rays to confirm a detailed scope of your needs.

Never been adjusted before? We understand if you may feel a bit nervous about what to expect. Before we adjust you, we can tell you about the different gentle techniques we have at our disposal. Some people think that significant force is required to provide an effective adjustment but that’s not true.

We have been able to see improvement for our patients using gentle techniques such as the Activator Methods®. This approach uses an adjusting instrument, which is a handheld, spring-loaded tool that delivers a consistent low-force, high-speed thrust.

Because this method is many times faster than adjustments given by hand, the body rarely tightens to resist, making adjustments comfortable. The instrument can be used to adjust elbows, wrists, knees and other joints of the body.

When people are first introduced to chiropractic care, they want to know what results they can expect from care. Individual experiences vary from person to person and our best recommendations are made in accordance with your health concern and future health goals.

Your case is constantly reviewed to ensure that we are helping you in the best way we can.
