Type 2: Corrective Care

Teaming Up for Optimal Health

Most chiropractors regard the elimination of symptoms as the easiest part of a persons care. If all that the chiropractor does is to reduce the pain and stop there, the chances of the condition recurring are much greater. In order to prevent a rapid recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to continue receiving care even though your symptoms are gone. According to the latest research, and contrary to what many chiropractors believed all along, spinal adjustments alone will not change abnormal structure, posture or scoliosis.  Adjustments are wonderful for improving range of motion and reducing or eliminating pain.  However, in order to improve the structure of the spine to a stronger, more stable, and healthier state, all the components of the human frame that contribute to body structure must be addressed. These include; muscles, ligaments, tendons as well as bone and joints. We exercise the muscles which support your spine as well as provide all the phases of care needed to improve overall structure and function.  We apply gentle forces over time to gradually change the length of ligaments to support the new improved position.  We modify lifestyle such as sleeping position, driving and computer posture, even how you sit and watch TV.  In addition, we help patients learn how best to exercise for their particular condition.  This approach has been scientifically proven to be very effective in providing a sustained remodeling of the spine, producing spinal strength, stability and improved function.
