A chiropractic adjustment is a hands-on therapeutic technique to restore proper alignment and movement to the spine and other joints in the body. During an adjustment, the chiropractor applies a controlled, targeted force to a specific joint, often using their hands or specialized tools. When the spine is not moving properly, it can interfere with the function of the nervous system, leading to pain, inflammation, and a range of health issues. By restoring motion to the spine, chiropractic adjustments help the body heal naturally.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care:

• Improves the body's function and mobility by increasing the range of motion in joints in the spine or extremities via the adjustment.

  
  

• Reduces pain by targeting the root cause of dysfunction, which produces a positive change in the body.

  
  

• Improves nervous system function and coordination by restoring motion to the joint which allows for optimal nerve communication and function between the brain and the body.

  
  

• Relieves stress and promotes overall well-being by making sure the body is functioning at its best with no restrictions in movement or function in daily life.

  
  

• Boosts the body's natural healing abilities by allowing the body to have more awareness and respond quicker to bodily ailments.

Manual Muscle Therapy (MMT) is a hands-on treatment technique to address muscle tension, stiffness, and imbalances. Through targeted pressure, this therapy focuses on the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, tendons, and fascia, to alleviate pain, enhance flexibility, and promote relaxation.

Benefits of Manual Muscle Therapy:

• Reduces built-up tension and soreness by massaging out trigger points in overworked or injured muscles.

  
  

• Improves blood flow and lymph drainage to and from muscles, which further promotes healing and reduces inflammation.

  
  

• Reduces muscle stiffness thereby increasing flexibility and range of motion.

  
  

• Helps to alleviate pain and discomfort by targeting the root cause of muscle pain and the surrounding tissues.
