We participate in many Managed Care Insurance Plans in addition to Medicare, Workers' Comp., and No-Fault Auto Insurance. Chiropractic finds and corrects the cause of many painful health problems. Chiropractors look toward misplaced or subluxated vertebrae in the spinal column as the source of many painful conditions.
A chiropractor finds these subluxated areas of the spine through physical examination which includes posture analysis, range of motion testing, orthopedic and neurological testing, palpation or feeling with the hands and also with X-ray or M.R.I. testing if necessary.The chiropractor then uses a procedure called a spinal adjustment which is pressure with the hands done in specific directions to help improve the vertebral disrelationships.
Ultrasound or electric muscle stimulation therapy may also be done in problem areas to help reduce muscle hypertonicity or spasm or to increase circulation to a joint. Some of the more common problems that a chiropractor treats are pain in the: neck, mid or lower back, shoulders, arms, hips, legs, and headaches.
