Whether you are at home, work or out and about, normal daily living puts strain on your body. Furthermore, overuse, injuries from sports and accidents are other culprits that can affect the spine, muscles and nervous system.

 

The aforementioned contributing factors can lead to a condition called Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC). This is when the normal motion of the spinal joint becomes restricted resulting in irritation of the nerves and other tissues within the spinal segment. Left uncorrected, VSC can lead to abnormal biomechanics and consequently symptoms such as pain and impaired functions.

 

Another concerning consequence of the VSC is Immobilization Degeneration. Research indicates that a joint that has lost its normal movement will begin degenerating at a rate measurable within one week of onset, and will continue, often painlessly, until significant deterioration has occurred or a sudden significant biomechanical stress creates an acute injury.

 

Chiropractic is a hands-on, non-invasive, drugless health care discipline that specializes in detecting VSC and correcting spinal joint motion to restore proper movement, thereby alleviating pain and dysfunction.

 

At our clinic, in addition to treating acute and chronic pain, we also focus on health maintenance. Using rehabilitative exercises and lifestyle recommendations which promote health, we help patients lead an active and vibrant life!
