CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic treatment mainly focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues especially those related to the spine.

 Chiropractic can help with

  • Back pain

  • Neck Pain

  • Headache

  • Whiplash

  • Strains & Sprains from daily activities

  • Overuse injuries

  • Work and sports-related injuries

  • Arthritis

  • Restricted movement in the back, shoulders, neck or limbs

  • ​

  • Here’s how we treat :

  • Assessment:

  • Our chiropractor will first talk with you about your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. They may also do physical exams (checking posture, flexibility, and muscle strength) 

  • ​

  • Diagnosis:
    Based on the assessment, we identify where your body may be misaligned, tight, or inflamed, particularly in the spine and joints.

  • ​

  • Manual Adjustment (Spinal Manipulation):
    Our chiropractor uses their hands (or sometimes small instruments) to apply a controlled, sudden force to a joint.

  • The use of an activator can be used - It delivers a quick, low-force impulse to the spine or joints. This can be much gentler than a manual adjustment — ideal for people who are sensitive, elderly, very young, or in a lot of pain

  • Thee goal is to-

  • Improve spinal motion

  • Correct misalignments ("subluxations")

  • Reduce nerve irritation

  • Help your body heal itself naturally

  • ​

  • Other Techniques: Besides adjustments, our chiropractor might also:

  • Stretch or massage soft tissues

  • Recommend exercises, stretches

  • Give advice on ergonomics, posture, diet, or stress management

  • Drop piece table technique – the use of a specially designed table to help mobilize a joint in a controlled way

  •  

  • Follow-Up:
    Treatment can sometimes be ongoing. Many people need a few sessions over weeks or months depending on how their body responds and the severity of their condition.

  • ​

  • We can do treatment of other joints, including feet, ankles, shoulders, wrists, elbows.

DRY NEEDLING 

Dry needling can be a very effective complement to a chiropractic treatment because it targets muscle tension, trigger points, and inflammation, which are often involved in the pain and dysfunction chiropractors treat.

​

What Happens During Dry Needling?

  • Our Chiropractor finds a tight knot or trigger point in a muscle.

  • They insert the needle directly into that area.

  • The muscle may twitch — this is a good sign that the muscle is reacting and releasing.

  • No medication is injected — the needle alone triggers the body’s healing response (that’s why it’s called “dry” needling).

​

1. Relieves Muscle Tension

  • Chiropractors adjust joints, but if the surrounding muscles are tight or knotted (trigger points), they can pull the joints out of alignment again.

  • Dry needling releases these tight muscle bands, helping the joints stay in better alignment after an adjustment.

2. Reduces Pain and Inflammation

  • The needle stimulates the body’s natural healing response, increasing blood flow and releasing chemicals like endorphins that reduce pain.

  • This can speed up recovery from musculoskeletal injuries chiropractors are treating.

3. Improves Range of Motion

  • Tight muscles can limit movement. By relaxing these muscles, dry needling restores flexibility and mobility.

  • This makes chiropractic adjustments easier and more effective because the body moves more naturally.

4. Addresses Both Joint and Soft Tissue Problems

  • Chiropractic care mainly targets bones and joints.

  • Dry needling addresses muscles, fascia, and soft tissues.

  • Together, they offer a more complete treatment for issues like neck pain, back pain, headaches, sports injuries, and even nerve impingements.
