Chiropractic: Alignment of the Spine

11/30/2018

When discussing the spine, the term alignment is referring to the correlation between the head, shoulders, spine, hips, knees, and ankles. The proper alignment for these structures are known and studied by experienced chiropractors. The objective of chiropractic is to achieve and maintain the proper alignment of the structures in one's body.

When the proper alignment is achieved, the structures of the spine are under less stress, resulting in relief from pain and other stress factors. When visiting a chiropractor for the first time, a new patient undergoes x-ray examinations to allow an inside look to pin-point problem areas.

When a care plan is made, the patient comes into the chiropractic office regularly for adjustments of the spine. These adjustments provide relief from pain and slowly fix problems in the alignment of their spine.

If you believe that a chiropractor can help ease the pain you are experiencing, come into the Wellness Plus office today!

The Activator Method in Chiropractic

11/15/2018

Being a part of the most researched chiropractic techniques, we thought it was best to touch on the Activator Method and tell you a few things about it! 

Its efficiency is supported through research, unlike any other instrument adjusting technique! With research to back it, and clinical trials to support it, the Activator Method has proven its importance within the Chiropractic field. In the hands of an experienced and trained Chiropractor, this tool can assist the client in achieving and maintaining healthy alignment of the spine. 

The handheld device is used to deliver a small amount of pressure to a joint or vertebra in the intention of aligning it correctly. Seeing as the force is sent quickly, the muscles have less time to tense, therefore allowing the Activator to freely manipulate the intended joint or vertebra. This tool can be used alongside manual manipulation of the spine in order to provide the client with the best treatment specific to them.

Next time you come into Wellness Plus, ask us about Activators and if they will be a part of your care plan! We look forward to seeing you!
