Chiropractic
(Chiro=hand; Practic=practitioner) is a system of care whereby
the doctor of chiropractic employs a number of methods to evaluate
the joints of the spine. When the spinal joints get stuck (fixated),
localized pain in the area can result. Further,
a reflex exists whereby the fixated joint will cause the surrounding
musculature to tighten and also become irritated.
Through the use of five different adjustment methods, the normal
joint motion can be restored. The result is a reduction
in pain and a return to normal functioning
of the spine. At Clearwater Chiropractic Center, great
care is taken through the 30 minute visit to evaluate each joint
of the spine every visit in order to determine which areas need
specialized attention. We offer very gentle adjustment
methods which result in a pleasant and effective
treatment experience.
Each patient receives 3 Forms of Physical Therapy ever visit,
including Electro-therapy, Heat,
and Intersegmental Traction, which feels like
being on a massage table. These techniques combined with the
specific forms of adjusting often result in prompt relief
from back pain, neck pain, and headaches.
