Frequently Asked Questions in Green Bay

A subluxation is when one or more of your spinal bones moves out of place, which can compress the nerves that run through that particular area. These compressed nerves often become inflamed and impede the proper transmission of impulses to the section of the body controlled by these nerves. A seemingly endless list of ailments and pain may be brought about by these subluxations.

After a complete analysis, the chiropractor is ready to deliver any necessary adjustments. The adjustment is to be as specific, precise, and accurate as possible, addressing only the problem areas (areas of subluxation). Great care is taken to ensure a bio-mechanically correct position and precise thrust to provide the most accurate and painless adjustment possible. It is the goal of your chiropractor to restore and maintain optimal health by locating and correcting any interference to the nervous system caused by vertebral subluxation.

We have been fortunate to care for thousands of patients, each with their own body type and health challenges. With that experience, we are able to use many different types of “indicators” when determining where to adjust each practice member and to do it effectively and efficiently. For example, we use our hands to detect subtle changes in spinal muscle tension, inflammation, tension or tone of the joints, and restricted motion or misalignment of the joints and are constantly visually observing patients for changes in posture, unusual walking patterns, head tilt or rotation, along with many other visual indicators. We are also blessed to have state-of-the-art technology in the office, which allows us to locate, with pinpoint accuracy exactly where any interference is in the nervous system, and our digital x-rays help us confirm what we are feeling with our hands and observing with our eyes.

Doctors of Chiropractic attend rigorous schooling. After undergraduate studies, chiropractic students move on to further specialize in subluxation detection, chiropractic education, and chiropractic adjusting skills. While medical students concentrate on diagnosis, drug prescription, and surgery, chiropractic students concentrate on locating and correcting vertebral subluxations and recognizing how they can damage the body’s health.
