Chiropractic care is a non-invasive form of healthcare that encompasses a multitude of options for patient treatment. The most significant and unique option chiropractors have to offer is the chiropractic adjustment. Adjustments are non-invasive procedures performed either manually with the hands or mechanically with the aid of a mechanical device such as an activator. The purpose of the adjustment is to restore the best possible biomechanical motion to the joint to allow for optimal function of the body. Every nerve in body travels through the spine. If the spine is misaligned or pinched due to inflammation or muscle spasm, the muscle or organ won’t function properly causing pain or malfunction.
The procedures at Wolf Family Chiropractic revolve around the adjustment as the main form of treatment. Other therapies such as trigger point massage and stretching exercises address the soft tissue. Dr. Wolf can use either manual adjustments or mechanical adjustments for any kind of treatment. Some patients are not comfortable with the “popping” sound which is associated with the manual adjustment. There are two different types of very low force mechanical treatments to choose from so the patient has a major say in how they get adjusted.
