What Does a Chiropractor Do?

A chiropractor is a healthcare professional who specializes in diagnosing and treating neuromusculoskeletal conditions, particularly those affecting the spine, joints, and nervous system. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation (chiropractic adjustments), mobilization, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises to help alleviate pain and improve function in the spine and extremities.

Gonstead: (Utilized by Dr. Rob)

Using a small heat-sensing instrument that detects temperature differences up and down your spine. These temperature differences are due to a misalignment of the vertebrae producing nerve interference or irritation. This technique helps pin point the problem area in the body! Gonstead is one of the safest methods of chiropractic, allowing the option of adjusting children, pregnant women, and also the elderly.

Diversified: (Utilized by Dr. Zach)

Diversified is one of the most commonly practiced and widely recognized chiropractic adjustment methods. This technique focuses on manual spinal manipulation to restore proper movement and alignment in the joints, particularly in the spine, but also in other areas like the shoulders, hips, and extremities. This involves the utilization of a high amplitude low amplitude (HVLA) thrust to help restore motion in the affected joints.
