Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn ability to be healthy. By restoring spinal function with Chiropractic adjustments, nerve interference by misaligned vertebrae is removed, thus allowing optimal nervous system function and normal health. In simple terms, a chiropractic adjustment is a technique that applies a very specific amount of force to a specific joint and at a precise angle. The result of this is to remove a subluxation. There are a great many different techniques used to administer a chiropractic adjustment, and a Doctor of Chiropractic is trained to select the most appropriate technique for each individual patient's situation.
Chiropractic adjustments are most often gentle, and provide little or no discomfort to the patient.
Many patients also use chiropractic care at Gerou Chiropractic for wellness care. Patients see us on a regular basis to be checked and adjusted if necessary. They do this even though they may not have any problems or complaints, just as dental patients get regular check ups and needed care even though they may not have a complaint. Wellness care removes subluxations, that may or may not be causing a noticeable problem, which helps the body operate at its optimal level. This, in turn, enhances and supports the body's in-born ability to fight disease and reduce injury.
