Your Chiropractor Can Provide Subluxation Treatment
If you have subluxations, we can help. We use a variety of techniques to provide subluxation treatment, including:
- Spinal manipulation – Spinal manipulation is the process of using gentle pressure on the back to realign the vertebrae of the spine. Spinal manipulation can help with the subluxation and provide pain relief for the patient. Doing this over time can help restore communication between the brain and the rest of the body, which can be inhibited by subluxations.
- Therapeutic stretches and exercises – We teach our patients how to perform therapeutic stretches and exercises that strengthen the muscles and help with subluxation alignment. Patients often enjoy doing stretches and exercises because they can this activity in the comfort of their own home.
- Lifestyle advice – We teach our patients how to avoid the creation of subluxations in the future by changing their lifestyle and habits.
