Chiropractic
Chiropractic care can go a long way in improving your overall health and wellness. Adjusting, or aligning your joints into proper positioning will provide foundational improvements to bodily function.
about chiropractic
What is chiropractic? The word ‘chiropractic’ is derived from the Greek words cheir (meaning ‘hand’) and praktos (meaning ‘done’). To literally mean Done by Hand, this name was chosen as most chiropractic techniques are performed manually.
What are chiropractors doing? The purpose of chiropractic is to align a joint in order to restore proper function. Yes, a joint can become out of alignment. The medical term for this is ‘subluxation’. Unlike a dislocation where a joint is completely out of place, a subluxation is when a joint is out of alignment just enough to cause issue. One of the first signs of subluxation of the spine is reduced segmental motion, meaning that a vertebrae (the bone in your spine) is actually not moving how it is meant to be moving!
The goal of the chiropractic adjustment is to restore alignment in order to improve joint motion. When a joint is aligned properly the surrounding soft tissues (muscles and fascia) are able to calm. There is also less pressure on the nerves that surround the joint and less nerve interference, meaning that the body will actually function better!
The human body is a self-regulating organism and is always in a state of self-healing. This innate intelligence is controlled by the nervous system: the brain, the spinal cord and nerves throughout the body. When subluxations are present in the body, pressure can be on the surrounding nerves, not only causing pain or tingling, but also affecting the function of surrounding soft tissue and organs. This explains why when your back hurts you may feel pain down your leg or why when your neck hurts you may experience headache or change in vision. This is also why proper alignment and the chiropractic adjustment goes far beyond just pain to aid in optimal health in every body system.

some questions you might have
Arrow Health is in network with the majority of insurance companies. Not every service is billable to insurance, such as massage therapy. We can easily call on your benefits and determine coverage ahead of time.
Will the adjustment be painful? This is a common question that concerns many first time chiropractic patients. Fortunately for most, the answer is “not typically”.
In short, the answer is no. We don’t have to “crack” anything to successfully adjust a joint in the body. Many joints don’t even make noise when they are adjusted. The technique often thought of when an adjustment causes noise is with a manual adjustment of the spine. For those that don’t like the noise or for those that shouldn’t be adjusted that way there are alternative and effective options such as Activator or Thompson drop techniques available. Dr. Lindsey explains more in her blog: What is that noise during a chiropractic adjustment!?
Absolutely! Dr. Lindsey is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and confidently works with children of all ages from newborns to teenagers.
