Trauma distorts bones, ligaments, tendons, and can cause nerve damage. Even small accidents can create powerful ripple effects in the body. It is important to have your spine evaluated after any trauma—even when no symptoms are present.
Repetitive stress from sports or work can damage joints and irritate nerves. Chiropractic helps you regain nerve function, strength, and normal range of motion to get you back to your 'peak' function.
A lack of joint movement can cause nerve function to become impaired, leading to pain, numbness, and tingling. We help restore your health and nerve function naturally.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy works holistically to alleviate low back pain and extra stress. Research shows it can significantly speed up delivery time by ensuring proper pelvic bone movement.
Babies and young children respond well to treatment for colic, ear infections, and more. Regular exams ensure an optimized nervous system to respond to any threat.
As we age, our bodies naturally break down. Maintaining a wellness program ensures your body keeps moving and functioning at its peak throughout your later years.
Dr. Gabe will begin with a consultation where your current complaints and past medical history will be reviewed and documented. After which, an in depth physical examination will be performed, which includes orthopedic, neurological, and range of motion assessments in order to diagnose the cause of your problem. In some instances, x-rays will be prescribed to obtain more information. Following the exam, Dr. Gabe will give you a comprehensive report of findings based on the diagnosis that was determined.
Initial visits do not typically include a full treatment session, but will be aimed at lessening current pain and determining the proper course of treatment going forward. During the second visit, full treatment begins. Chiropractic care involves introducing movement into areas of the spine that are restricted in an effort to enable the nervous system to function without “short circuits” or interference. By returning the nerves to their normal state and restoring full range of spinal motion, numbness, pain, and tingling fade away. Further, by restoring motion into the spine, accelerated degeneration can be avoided. Every machine, including your spine, needs to move properly to prevent it from breaking down faster than necessary.
Another aspect of treatment is removing scar tissue, when necessary. This is achieved through various soft tissue techniques that involve stretching the muscle under tension to lengthen it to its natural state.
