What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care or treatment is a field of health care that uses manual therapy to help the body heal. This includes spine, bone, and joint manipulation, which can address neck and back pain. Back and neck pain have become common in modern society, especially among office staff.
Chiropractic adjustments are manual treatment methods such as stretching and specific joint manipulations. These consist of a quick and gentle thrust delivered using either hands or a specialized instrument, depending on the type of adjustment. The goal of chiropractic adjustments, also known as joint manipulations, is to improve or increase joint motion and function.
What should I expect with an adjustment?
Specifics will vary based on which part of your body is ailing you. Some adjustments will be made by hand, but others can use specialized equipment.
Dr. DiBiase specializes in the KST technique or Koren Specific Technique. This technique improves body function to release any physical or emotional stress. Stress, as we continue to learn in medical research, can have a profound effect on the body.
Job stress, for example, can increase your risk for health problems like back pain, heart problems, injuries at work, immune system issues, depression, or burnout. Stress and pain can often go hand and hand.
The KST technique is a gentle method of chiropractic adjustment, which can make it a great starting point. It uses an instrument that uses minimal force and energy to remove pressure from a nerve area. This device allows patients to experience a specific adjustment in the most gentle possible manner (even without cracking or popping noises).
