What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic literally means done by hand. It is a natural, complimentary, drug-free, surgery-free approach to health. A Chiropractor’s main concern is your spine and nervous system. We evaluate the spine to ensure each individual vertebra is moving freely. A displaced, jammed or restricted vertebra can cause the spinal nerve that exits to become irritated, causing muscle spasm, pain and sometimes pins and needles.
What causes the vertebra to lock up or jam up?
With the busy lives we live, rushing around, sitting in the car for hours, sitting behind a desk all day, lying on the couch, sleeping incorrectly, not getting enough sleep, falls, car accidents, lifting heavy objects, high levels of stress and pregnancy are some of the causes for the vertebra to lose mobility and affect the normal alignment.
What does the treatment involve?
In our practice we use massage, heat, dry needling, ischemic compression, mobilization and manipulation of the spine and extremities, flexion distraction, interferential current, ultrasound, kinesio-taping, spinal rehabilitation, stretches and activator techniques.
When should you see a Chiropractor?
Prevention is always better than cure, so even if you have no pain you can benefit from regular treatments, maintaining healthy joints and nerves. We can treat a wide range of neuromusculoskeletal conditions including neck pain, headaches, migraines, whiplash, shoulder pain, back pain, hip pain, leg pain, sports injuries,sciatica, pins and needles, and numbness.
Our team consists of: Dr Cherise Arrandale and Dr Bryan Palm.
