Chiropractic Care

How My Practice Works

Chiropractic is different from medicine. Not superior or inferior, just different. They both have different intentions & different purposes. Medicine’s focus is the diagnosis & treatment of disease & symptoms. Chiropractic is a separate & unique profession with focus on correcting basic underlying causes of dis-ease.

Health & well-being are natural.  So, if you’re not experiencing optimum health & a sense of ease, something must be interfering with your body’s ability to express it. Chiropractic care relies on your body’s natural innate healing mechanisms & capacity.

The first place we look is your nervous system because your brain, spinal cord & nerves control & regulate the function of every cell, tissue, organ & system in your body. If you’re experiencing a health issue, it’s likely that your nervous system is involved in some way.

*Stress can overload your nervous system resulting in spinal misalignment, which can compress your brainstem, spinal cord & nerves altering your brain-body communications & healthy functions.

*Stress can overload your nervous system resulting in spinal misalignment, which can stress your brainstem, spinal cord & nerves altering your brain-body communications & healthy functions.

There are 3 types of stress:

Not Limited to:

Traumatic:        Slips, Falls, Car Accidents.

Toxic:                 Drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco, Poor Nutrition.

Emotional:        Fear, Anger, Grief, Anxiety, Depression, Life’s Drama, “Stinking Thinking”.

(the Most Common)

*It is vital to minimize your life’s stresses.

 I use specialized assessment protocols to identify nerve interference, spinal misalignment & dysfunctions while using an Activator® adjusting instrument to dispense gentle & effective adjustments. There is no twisting, jerking, popping or side effects. Each adjustment unlocks misalignments to allow the inborn intelligence of your body to re-establish healthy spinal alignment & function.

 Adjustments do not treat your symptoms.  This may surprise you. Instead, Chiropractic Adjustments are precisely targeted to reduce misalignment & neurological interference so your body will no longer need to express pain & discomfort from mechanical stress & body dysfunctions.  Your body does the work of rebalancing & healing with time.

To make lasting spinal changes, consistency in your care is essential.  Your care is designed to produce the best results in the shortest amount of time. If visits are too close together, your body may still be processing the previous adjustment. If too far apart, or missed, you’ll lose the momentum needed to allow your spinal muscles, ligaments & body functions to rebalance.

You control your recovery. You decide how you will utilize your chiropractic care. Some individuals receive fast relief of their pains & discontinue care until they relapse. Others continue their care to gain spinal stability & minimize relapse.  Many people put chiropractic maintenance care in their health care regimen to maintain a healthy functional spine & body. How you chose to benefit is always up to you. If you ever feel you’ve had enough care, please let us know. We’ll celebrate your success & send you on your way. If your problem should return & these sorts of problems often do, we will be here to help you.

After your adjustments the ideal situation is to go home if you can & take a rest. This helps keep your adjustments longer. I will provide 2 home procedures you can do to complement your adjustments.

 How We’re Different

At Handly Chiropractic Clinic we use a highly effective specialized adjusting approach with no twisting or popping of the neck and back.

The Activator Method is one of the most widely researched chiropractic techniques. It’s the only instrument adjusting technique with clinical research to support its results.

After making manual adjustments for 40 years, once I received “Advanced Certification” in using the Activator Protocols & Instrument, I found problems previously missed and produced faster, longer lasting results for my patients. It’s also helpful for adjusting ribs, shoulders, extremities, as well as for adjusting young children.
