We are a full-service chiropractic office located in Mechanicsburg, PA with treatment options such as spinal manipulation, exercise therapy, nutrition response testing, cryotherapy, electric stimulation, ultrasound & intersegmental traction. A chiropractic adjustment is the minor movement of a joint in the spine performed by a slight pressure of the chiropractor’s hands or by an instrument. The go
al of an adjustment is to establish motion in an area that is not moving well. This restricted motion can occur for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma, such as a car accident. You may hear a noise that sounds like you are cracking your knuckles when you get adjusted. This sound is referred to as joint cavitation. That noise is the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen from the joint. Current research supports that chiropractic is a safe and effective method in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. Some of these conditions include low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, migraines, and many more. Exercise Therapy consists of movements that can be beneficial in increasing strength or range of motion in a specific region of the body. Our team utilizes exercises that can help you recover more quickly and decrease the likelihood of re-injury. We also encourage our patients to exercise once our treatment plan is completed.
