About Chiropractic

 

What Is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a natural method of maintaining health by emphasizing proper skeletal alignment, posture, biomechanics and nervous system function.

​

Which Techniques Do We Use?

We use the following techniques to perform Chiropractic adjustments:

• Full Spine - adjusting by hand​

• Thompson Drop (aka Drop Table) - use of the drop pieces on the chiropractic table

• Activator - small clicking instrument

• Extremity Adjusting - adjusting of the joints of the arms and legs

• Physiotherapy - ultrasound, electric muscle stimulation, stretching, exercises, and muscle work (spot massage)

 

What Should I Expect?

In most cases, the entire body is checked, not just the spine.  The spine is adjusted and the extremity joints are checked for misalignments as well.  This only makes sense since everything is connected!​  In addition, muscle work (spot massage) and/or stretches are performed on any tight areas to help loosen muscles, increase flexibility and allow for a better adjustment.  Ultrasound and electric muscle stimulation are used when needed.

​

What Makes Us Different?

We take our time with our Chiropractic clients.  At Village Health, regular sessions range from ​10 to 20 minutes and can take up to 25 to 30 minutes depending upon the treatment needed.  The norm at most other offices is 5 to 10 minutes.

We allow for more doctor-client interaction and treatment time so our Chiropractors are able to spend more hands-on time with clients which results in clients needing less frequent visits and less visits overall to fix or correct a problem.
