What to Expect
Why Chiropractic
Chiropractors restore and maintain mobility of the spine through chiropractic adjustments. Your spine has three main functions:
Protect the spinal cord and exiting nerves
Provide structure to the body, and
Allow for mobility
The mobility part is what chiropractors assess and fix when restricted. We know that our bodies are designed to move and are healthier when we do. But mobility isn’t just healthy for our heart and immune system; the integrity of our joints relies on regular and full motion. However, through daily wear-and-tear, injuries, prolonged sitting, bad posture, etc., our joints slowly lose their normal mobility. Spinal joints are especially susceptible to this “hypomobility” which not only causes pain, but joints can become arthritic and potentially result in significant and permeant damage to the very system it’s designed to protect, the nervous system.
Now that you know that chiropractors restore and maintain mobility of the spine through chiropractic adjustments, let’s talk about your experience at Moskal Chiropractic. Your initial visit will consist of:
A case history which we will discuss in detail
An examination to properly diagnose your condition(s)
An adjustment specific to your needs along with any active soft-tissue treatment (stretching, myofascial release, flexion/distraction, etc.) baring no contraindications
And lastly, we’ll discuss any self-directed programs that you can implement in your life to speed up recovery and maintain a healthy spine (exercises, stretches, ergonomics, etc.)
As for technique, I am a hands-on adjuster and use many different techniques depending on the patients needs.
