We perform conservative, non-pharmaceutical, non-surgical, hands-on manual treatment for the management of musculoskeletal pain. Through the judicious use of chiropractic manipulation (aka the adjustment) as well as other effective manual mobilization and soft tissue relaxation procedures, proper motion is re-established in the stiff and painful area(s) of the body. We make every effort to utilize the most gentle and least invasive techniques possible in order to carefully restore the natural balance and pain-free function that was present before the injury.
Chiropractic manipulation / mobilization techniques:
These procedures are characterized by the application of the doctor’s hands to the afflicted area(s) in order to deliver gentle movement to the appropriate joints. Sometimes, this may produce a popping or clicking sound, which is similar to “cracking your knuckles”. As some may fear, this sound is not that of bones cracking, but is in fact the release of gas bubbles contained in the joint fluid.
The objective of manipulation / mobilization techniques is to achieve the following:
Relieve pain
Increase joint mobility / range of motion
Reduce muscle spasm / tightness
Restore optimal joint function

Diversified chiropractic manipulation (adjustment)
