Spinal Adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment, also known as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation, is the primary chiropractic treatment method for back pain.
Spinal manipulation relieves pressure on joints, reduces inflammation, and improves nerve function. It has been a trusted form treatment for thousands of years and is often used today to alleviate symptoms associated with allergies, menstrual cramps, and headaches.
HOW DOES SPINAL MANIPULATION WORK?
Adjustments, or manipulation as they’re sometimes referred to, are the minor movement of vertebrae in the spine. The objective of this movement is to realign vertebrae that have moved out of place for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma such as a car accident.
When these vertebrae are out of place, it has an overall systemic effect from muscular to the central nervous system. Without proper alignment and flow of all nerves and systems in the body from the brain, we can’t function at our peak.
An adjustment is often a pressure from the chiropractor utilizing the hands or an instrument to move a vertebrae back into place. This happens with a quick movement and is often without discomfort. You may hear a noise that sounds like you’re cracking your knuckles referred to as joint cavitation. It is the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen from the joint.
Overall, adjustments are an excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level. When the body is in alignment, the body is able to respond and perform as it was designed to.
What is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a gentle chiropractic adjustment method specifically designed to promote pelvic balance and alignment during pregnancy. Developed by Dr. Larry Webster, this
technique aims to address any pelvic misalignments or imbalances that may contribute to discomfort or complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
How Does It Work?
During a Webster Technique session, our experienced chiropractors will carefully assess the pelvic alignment of the expecting mother. Using gentle, non-invasive adjustments, they work to restore proper pelvic balance, reduce tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments, and optimize nervous system function.
By improving pelvic alignment, the Webster Technique may help:
Enhance maternal comfort and well-being
Reduce the likelihood of intrauterine constraint
Facilitate optimal fetal positioning for a smoother childbirth process

Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease is not as much a disease as it is a name for the changes that can happen to the spine as we age.
Our discs are made of a tough, rubbery exterior and a soft interior. They sit between the vertebrae to act as shock absorbers. As we age, the spinal discs begin to degenerate. This can cause herniated discs, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, and osteoarthritis.
