SUBLUXATION:
is misaligned vertebra causing interference to nerve messages that flow through your body and brain. It may involve your discs, muscles, ligaments, tendons and other parts of your body.

FACT:

Side Effects....
"A drug without side effects is no drug at all." That is another way of saying that no drug can be pinpointed to affect only the organ it is designed to treat.

Chiropractic is still....side effect FREE!

So How Do You Know Chiropractic Can Help?

Good question! First I'll need to get a good health history on you so I'll better understand your body. This will help identify the cause of any problems you are or may be having. We'll look at your current symptoms, your families health history, your lifestyle, including both physical activities from recreational and work. 

Then we'll perform a physical exam which will include chiropractic, orthopedic and neurological tests. Don't worry, it will only take a few minutes and can help reveal the condition of your spine. We will check for pain,  tenderness, swelling and any decrease in your motion.

X-Rays? X-rays are a "Blueprint" of your spine and can reveal misaligned bones in your spine or other joints. (See the Why X-Ray link for detailed info). You can also see fractures, arthritis, osteoporosis, bone spurs and many other diseases. 

Like I said on the "Home page", I had a guy "walk" into my office with a broken bone in his neck. The x-ray showed me he had a fracture of the C6 neck bone, so I could direct him to the hospital where he belonged. And let me know I sure didn't want to be adjusting on his neck!

So you need x-rays! If your a cash patient, I can get you a deal on them, so don't worry.

Diagnosis: With all the information from the history, exam and x-rays. I can formulate a diagnosis and  treatment plan designed for your specific needs. If it isn't a chiropractic problem, I will send you to another medical specialists for your condition. Or we can all work together to help speed you on your way to full recovery.

..At Southern Spinal Rehab, there's nothing mysterious about chiropractic. It is simply a natural method of health care that focuses on treating the cause of physical problems, rather than just the symptoms. Chiropractic is based on a simple, but powerful premise that with a normally functioning spine and healthy lifestyle, your body is better able to heal itself. And that if all of your bodies systems are functioning at 100%, you will be in total health. Are you in total health?

  Unfortunately however, most of us do not function at 100%. You see, the main pathway of the nervous system is the spinal cord. It controls every feeling, movement, and function throughout the body. The spinal cord runs in and is protected by the spine which can become misaligned causing decreased function and decreased health.

  "The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease". 
                                                                  Thomas Edison

So Why Does The Spine Matter? 
   Your spine is designed to both support your weight and protect your spinal cord, the vital link from the brain to the rest of your body. Since your nerves affect all parts of your body, even down to the smallest cell, the spinal nerves are the link between your brain and your bodies parts. So if a problem occurs in your spine (a misaligned vertebra or back bone), it can cause other problems down the line as well.

• Vertebra are bones in your spine which can become misaligned, irritating your nerves or causing muscles to contract unevenly. The joints made up of two vertebra can "lock up", causing back and neck pain.
• Discs which are cushioning between your vertebra can become weak and bulge or rupture. This can put pressure on the nerves or spinal cord which can lead to pain or numbness in your neck, back, arms and legs.
• Nerves are the link which carries messages to and from the brain. These messages tell your body how to function, so when they become pinched or irritated. They can cause pain, numbness, or tingling in your back or radiate into the arms or legs.
• Muscles, tendons and ligaments support your spine. If they become stretched, torn, or out of balance. This can cause your body to loss it's balance and the vertebra to loss it's support causing nerve irritation, pain and dysfunction. 

Why Go To A Chiropractor?
   Your chiropractor's education includes a minimum of six years of training in the sciences, health care and the art and science of chiropractic. This leads to a doctor of chiropractic (DC) degree. Chiropractors are specialists and well qualified to evaluate your spinal condition and provide you with specific treatment protocols designed to correct your vertebral dysfunction or SUBLUXATION.

    Your chiropractor works to restore function and health to your spine and joints by gently re-aligning your spinal vertebra. By doing so, it takes the pressure off the nerves, allowing your nerves to function better, the signal from your brain can then more easily go to your bodies parts. Making them function better, bring you back to a healthier you. Your chiropractor also helps to guide you in a personalized approach to overall health through wellness - through spinal care, exercise, nutrition and stress reduction.

So How Does Chiropractic Improve My Health and What Are These Adjustments?
   Your Doctor of Chiropractic is uniquely qualified to restore your spine to health using spinal adjustments. After finding any misaligned vertebra in your spine, your chiropractor (that's me) will use his hands (manual technique) to apply gentle pressure on your spine to reposition the vertebra back into its correct position. This reduces the pressure on the nerves and surrounding tissues (muscles, ligaments and tendons) and helps restore alignment, reduce pain and stiffness, and improve mobility and function. 

   And now we also utilize the a computerized spinal analysis and treatment instrument for gentle effective adjustments using a resonance percussive force or tapping to gently realign the spine. So with the ProAdjuster, there is "No More Twisting or Cracking" as with traditional manual chiropractic adjustments.

DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy:                Your chiropractor will also help you stay healthy by showing you certain strengthening exercises to help the muscles support the spine for proper posture. We also use different modalities such as moist heat and ice packs, soft and deep tissue massage, and both manual and mechanical traction. We also now use NON-Surgical DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy. This helps those with disc and facet problems to name a few.

These different therapies can help reduce pain, swelling and irritation. It also increases blood flow to the affected area which promotes healing.

But remember, PAIN is only a warning sign that something is wrong. Pain is easy to get rid of, but can return if the cause (misaligned bones) isn't completed (structural correction). So staying on your treatment plan means longer lasting relief from your pain!
