After years of training and clinical experience, each chiropractor becomes highly skilled in the variety of spinal adjustment procedures. The doctor evaluates each patient's unique spinal problem and develops an individual course of care. The resulting recommendations are based upon the patient's case history. Some patients who complain of headaches, may actually have a lower back problem that is causing a compensation reaction at the base of the skull. Other patients may be experiencing numbness and tingling in their fingers, when the problem is in the neck.
Every patient presents a uniquely different spinal pattern.
Patients notice that their chiropractic care is delivered with confidence and precision. Each visit builds on the previous one. Although many visits may seem similar, each patient's care is uniquely different from every other patient. Since a chiropractic adjustment is a specific force applied in a specific direction, to a specific spinal joint, it is fundamentally impossible to adjust oneself. Unfortunately, this type of joint manipulation is usually counterproductive, often making the pain eventually increase.
