Why Subluxation based Chiropractic?
Chiropractic comes in 2 flavors: subluxation based care and pain based care. Our office subscribes to the vitalistic approach to chiropractic which is subluxation based care.
Pain based care (neck pain, back pain, headaches, auto accidents) only addresses the symptom of a problem while ignoring its root cause.
Spinal Structural Correction
Spinal Structural Correction
Our approach to subluxation based care is outcome driven.
Like braces for teeth, the spine needs both force (a Chiropractic Adjustment) plus time to change in alignment. The closer we are able to maintain the spine to its ideal alignment, the longer the spine and all related structures, will last. Just like braces, there is a corrective phase where the dentition is fixed, then there is a maintenance phase, where a retainer is used, to keep the teeth in their new position.
We take initial X-Rays to determine length of corrective care, as well as follow up x-rays to determine continuation of care. Spinal alignment restoration is key to stimulating restoration of function.
