What is Chiropractic?
A Holistic Approach to Whole-Body Health
When most people think of chiropractic care, they imagine spinal adjustments and the classic "crack" that comes with them. While spinal adjustments are a foundational part of what chiropractors do, modern chiropractic care goes far beyond simply aligning the spine. It's a holistic, whole-body approach to improving function, reducing pain, and promoting long-term health.
At Arthrology Chiropractic, we use various advanced techniques and therapies that go beyond traditional adjustments to help you move, feel, and live better.
The Tools We Use to Help You Heal and Perform Optimally
- Dry Needling - Involves inserting thin, sterile needles into trigger points within muscles and connective tissues to release tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. It's especially effective for muscle knots, tightness, and chronic pain.
- Myofascial Release Technique - Your muscles are surrounded by fascia - a web of connected tissue that can become tight or restricted due to injury or poor posture. Myofascial Release targets these restrictions, helping to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall movement patterns.
- Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) - Using specialized tools, IASTM helps break down scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions. It promotes better circulation, faster healing, and increased range of motion in muscles and soft tissues.
- Cupping Therapy (Myofascial Decompression) - Cupping uses suction to lift soft tissues, increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. It's an excellent tool for reducing inflammation, speeding recovery, and improving tissue mobility.
- Corrective Exercise - We design personalized corrective exercise programs to correct imbalances, strengthen weak muscles, and improve mobility and stability. These programs help prevent future injuries and optimize movement patterns.
Chiropractic is More Than Adjustments
Chiropractic care aims to optimize how your body moves and functions, helping you heal naturally without relying solely on medications or invasive procedures. While spinal and joint adjustments help restore proper movement and function, we take it several steps further by incorporating various evidenced-based modalities to support your body's healing process.
Beyond Physical Treatment: Lifestyle, Nutrition & Supplements
Healing isn't just about what happens on the treatment table—it's also about what you do outside of the office. That's why we focus on a whole-body approach to wellness.
- Lifestyle Recommendations - We help you identify and adjust habits contributing to your pain or dysfunction. Small changes can lead to significant improvements, whether it's improving your desk posture, modifying your workout routine, or enhancing your sleep ergonomics.
- Diet & Nutrition - Inflammation, poor nutrition, and imbalanced hormones can all affect how your body feels and functions. We offer lab testing to identify nutrient deficiencies, inflammatory markers, and other underlying issues, then create a nutrition plan tailored to your needs.
- Targeted Supplementation - Based on lab results and your specific health goals, we may recommend supplements such as omega-3s for inflammation, magnesium for muscle relaxation, or collagen to support joint health. These targeted interventions can help accelerate your healing processes and improve long-term wellness.
A Whole-Body Approach to Health
At Arthrology Chiropractic, we view your body as an interconnected system. We get to the root of your problem; pain in one area is often the result of dysfunction somewhere else. By combining spinal and joint adjustments with soft tissue therapies, corrective exercises, lifestyle recommendations, nutrition, and supplementation, we can get to the root cause of your pain or dysfunction and help you heal and live your life to the fullest.
Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to optimize your movement and health, our comprehensive approach offers a path to long-term relief and wellness.
Chiropractic
At Arthrology Chiropractic, we believe that chiropractic care should extend far beyond simply “cracking backs.” Our approach is modern, patient-focused, and rooted in clinical expertise and evidence-based practice. Each treatment is personalized to meet individual needs, aiming not only to relieve pain but also to restore optimal joint function, enhance movement quality, and promote long-term health.
We start with a comprehensive assessment to identify the root cause of your symptoms; whether they stem from posture, injury, repetitive stress, sports performance, or general lifestyle factors. From this assessment, we create a customized treatment plan that may include chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy, and corrective exercises. Additionally, we often integrate services such as acupuncture, dry needling, functional movement training, and lifestyle recommendations to ensure lasting results.
Chiropractic adjustments are a precise, gentle, and effective method for improving joint motion, reducing nerve irritation, and enhancing the body’s natural healing abilities. Restoring proper motion not only alleviates discomfort but also improves coordination, strength, and overall movement efficiency.
Our treatments are always delivered in a relaxed, professional setting; there are no rushed appointments or assembly-line care here. We prioritize building a partnership with our patients, educating you about your condition, and providing you with the tools to take an active role in your recovery.
Whether you are seeking relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches, sports injuries, or simply looking to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle, chiropractic care at Arthrology Chiropractic is designed to help you move better, recover faster, and stay strong for the long term.
