Why You Should Go to a Chiropractor

Part of the chiropractic approach involves determining whether the body’s natural structure has caused problems with the functions in other areas of your body because of reactions in the nervous system. Structural changes can affect the nerves and the spinal cord by affecting the normal communication of information from the brain to the rest of the body.

Along with specialized chiropractic treatment, Dr. Germino will provide you with rehabilitation exercises, advice on posture and stress management and nutritional advice. The most important aspect of chiropractic care is the comprehensive approach to treatment and management of a patient’s unique condition.

About Chiropractic Care

The non-invasive, drug-free, hands-on approach focuses on patient examination, diagnosis and customized treatment. Through diagnostics, we are trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises to patients. We also recognize the importance and health-related benefits of nutrition and proper lifestyle choices.

Chiropractic Adjustments

IMG_2802At its most basic, chiropractors perform a therapeutic procedure called spinal adjustment or chiropractic manipulation.

In most cases, back pain emanates from the misalignment (called vertebral subluxation) of the spinal vertebrae. The subluxation, basically an impinged nerve, causes irritations of the spinal nerve which in turn inhibits the normal nerve flow from the brain to the tissue. A gentle chiropractic adjustment is used to realign the spine.

This advanced technology allows for gentle thrusts faster than the body’s tendency to tighten up and resist the adjustment. The controlled low force thrust makes these chiropractic treatments very comfortable for patients. It is specifically tuned to the natural frequency of the body that joints, muscles and nerves respond to which optimizes results for patients.
