Chiropractic care can help your body heal, feel, and function better naturally. Chiropractic focuses on the direct relationship between the spine, the nervous system, and the body’s natural healing ability.

When your nervous system and brain-body communication is free of interference, you can function at your optimum allowing for proper biomechanical and physiological function and thus healing throughout the body. Chiropractic care is not only about making sure your spine is moving properly and an optimal brain-body connection, but it also allows you to be proactive with your overall health and well-being.

For more information on chiropractic, what it is, what we look for, how we correct the interference, etc., visit our Chiropractic Care page.

A subluxation is an interference in the nervous system and is when one or more bones of the spine/body have increased tension or misalignment. This can cause neurologic imbalances in the normal body processes and can alter the regulation, function, and input/output of the organs, tissues, and cells of the nervous system.

When the nerves or surrounding structures of the body are impacted or imbalanced they may cause symptoms such as: pain, heat, swelling, tenderness, tingling, burning, and numbness. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you may be suffering from a very correctable subluxation.

Simply put, the subluxation is corrected through a chiropractic adjustment which is a specific and gentle force into the spine/joint of the body. When a chiropractic adjustment is delivered, it helps to realign the spine and joints in the body including the ribs, TMJ, shoulder, arms, legs and feet so proper brain-body communication can occur. Here at Balanced Family Chiropractic, we use Diversified and Gonstead technique manual adjusting as well as low force instruments, SOT blocks, and gentle drop pieces to realign the spine, pelvis and all other joints as necessary.

No, it is highly recommended that you DO NOT adjust yourself. By doing so you may cause more damage to the joints, connective tissue like the ligaments surrounding the joints and can actually make the condition worse. A Chiropractor is a well-trained doctor that specializes in the chiropractic adjustment to deliver a specific thrust in the proper line of correction to a particular fixated joint to correct the subluxation.

Chiropractic care and adjustments have been shown to be safe and effective. Care is adapted to accommodate the stage of pregnancy and the unique needs of each person.

Yes, children can get care in our office. From newborns, adolescents, to adults and every age in between, family spinal health and hygiene is important. As your child grows and develops, their nervous system is instructing the organs, tissues, and cells to mature, regulate, grow, adapt, and so much more. This is a reason why it is especially important to make sure your child’s spinal health is in tip-top function. Research has shown benefits to children who have received chiropractic care.

No. Each practice member’s care is unique and customized based on their examination findings, functional movement analysis, and specific conditions. We are equipped with different chiropractic techniques to effectively correct the subluxation to create more ease and mobility. Each adjustment builds upon the one prior because your body changes and so no two adjustments are the same.

Yes, although the protocol for people with previous back surgery differs from the usual protocol with the need to modify their spinal care plan. While many find relief from residual issues of the surgeries, outcomes are based on many factors including the severity of lower-back damage, injury duration, symptom severity and involved tissues. We also explore the numbers of therapies and surgeries undergone, as well as age, health and patient fitness. Many who have received a previous back surgery can also benefit from chiropractic care. Contact us today for more information.

The fact remains that low back pain is a very common cause of disability worldwide and patients often end up in surgery where the failure rate ranged from 20-40% according to the Journal of Pain Research.
