Chiropractic Adjustments
The majority of treatments given at our office are chiropractic adjustments. When a vertebrae becomes misaligned it places pressure on the nerves exiting the spinal cord and the body is not able to function properly. This is called a subluxation. Chiropractic adjustments are the painless, manual manipulations of these vertebrae to release the pressure on nerves so that the body can function optimaly.
The type of adjustment you receive depends on what the doctor views best for your health. Of course, adjustments are tailored to your size, age and particular health issue; this is why newborns, infants, children, seniors and even back surgery patients can get adjusted.
X-ray
As part of Dr. Holdren's thorough examination x-rays are often used to help identify the root cause of the symptoms.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical therapy that gently stretches the spine and decompresses the discs. This technique has shown the ability to gently separate the vertebrae from each other, creating a vacuum inside the discs that we are targeting. The vacuum retracts the herniated or bulging disc into the inside of the disc, and off the nerve root. It happens only microscopically each time, but cumulatively the results are quite dramatic.
