Chiropractic Adjustment
Chiropractic adjustment is the methodical application of sudden, controlled bursts of force to individual joints of the spine. Whether the chiropractor uses their hands or specialized instruments, their goals for adjustment are the same: to help weakened and/or injured muscles and ligaments stabilize and heal faster, and to promote the nervous system’s healthier response to affected organs and soft tissues.
The spine has 24 motile bones: each capable of movement in seven different directions. When it is misaligned, the spine can have a severe impact on nervous system functionality. The heart, lungs, ears, eyes, and even the brain can be affected in turn. By carefully repositioning these bones toward their ideal alignment, Dr. Joe is able to treat patients for a wide range of physical conditions.
Chiropractic adjustment is also preventative care. By promoting more restorative sleep, improving cognitive function, and enhancing the immune system’s response to disease, chiropractic adjustment can provide numerous long-lasting health benefits.
Manual Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are tight, irritable spots that form inside muscle tissue. In addition to being painful, trigger points cause muscles to gradually weaken, which can eventually impair functionality of adjacent soft tissues as well.
Manual trigger point therapy was developed to release trigger points. By using their hands or specialized equipment, the chiropractor applies targeted pressure which relaxes affected muscle tissues. Dr. Joe frequently uses this modality to reduce the frequency of muscle spasms, decrease the formation of scar tissue, improve circulation, and restore normal strength and range of motion to his patients’ muscles and joints.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) entails administering a very weak current to the site of an injury. Special conductive pads are placed over the injured muscle, which is then forced to contract and relax at a steady rate – strengthening it in the process. Most patients report a tingly “pins and needles” sensation during an EMS procedure, although they do not feel pain. More importantly, they report reduced pain and swelling afterward, as well as improved muscle tone and faster recovery from injury.

Ultrasound
Although commonly used to monitor the development of unborn babies, ultrasound is also useful for treating soft tissue injuries. By directing high-frequency sound waves deep beneath the skin, the chiropractor is able to increase blood flow to affected soft tissues. This induces the body to heal faster – without the need for drugs, surgery or discomfort.

Therapeutic Massage
When administered in conjunction with chiropractic adjustment and other healing modalities, therapeutic massage has a marked impact on overall health and well-being. In addition to rejuvenating the mind and body, therapeutic massage is commonly accompanied by improved circulation, increased joint flexibility, stronger and more relaxed muscles, and decreased symptoms of depression and anxiety.
