The care you will receive at Victoria Street Chiropractic:
Adjustments
Chiropractors are specialists in the manual adjustment of the joints of the body and specifically the spine. The adjustment is a precise movement applied to a joint of the body either by hand or by instrument. The adjustments aid in relieving pain and restoring normal motion and function without the use of drugs or surgery.
Postural Exercises
In order to aid in the correction of an abnormal spinal alignment, the muscles holding the posture in the abnormal position must be retrained and strengthened so that the new corrected posture can be maintained.
Postural Traction for the Spine
Typically, when one hears the word "traction", one thinks of a vertical pull or stretch. Traction performed in the chiropractic office is generally applied to the spine in an effort to stretch shortened spinal muscles and ligaments and to remodel the spine back towards a more normal alignment.
In addition to the above, your treatment will include one or a combination of: stretching, heat, ice, and soft tissue therapy.
