Chiropractic care focuses on how your spine and joints interact with your body’s central nervous system. Specifically, chiropractors are concerned with how misalignments in the body’s musculoskeletal structure, specifically within the spine, can be a root cause of several different conditions and illnesses. Chiropractic care primarily involves spinal manipulation techniques (either manually with the hands, or with computerized instruments) to help provide proper alignment in patients’ musculoskeletal structure, whether that consists of the spine or other joints in your body. At Multi-Care Holistic Health Center we also offer instrument adjustments using “The Pro-Adjuster” Both techniques can be an excellent alternative to surgery or long-term pain medication.

Because the spine and nervous system interact with the entire body, the pain symptoms that a chiropractor is qualified to treat are diverse and far-reaching! Whether it is your neck, shoulders, knees, or toes that are bothering you, a chiropractor will most likely be able to provide excellent treatment. Our chiropractor, Dr. Johnson, DC, sees patients with symptoms and conditions such as:

– Ankle pain
– Arthritis related conditions
– Degenerative disc disease
– Herniated discs
– Hip pain
– Joint pain or stiffness
– Knee pain
– Migraine headaches
– Myofascial pain
– Neck pain and stiffness
– Numbness or tingling in a particular area
– Pain in your extremities, including your arms, legs, hands, or feet
– Sciatica
– Shoulder pain
– Osteoarthritis
– Sports injuries
– Upper, middle, and lower back pain
– Whiplash

Depending on the type and degree of the symptoms you are experiencing, the frequency with which you should see a chiropractor will vary. While some individuals may only require one chiropractic session for symptom relief, most patients require multiple appointments before they experience proper alignment and relief from their pain. Moreover, regular appointments to see a chiropractor can help you maintain correct musculoskeletal alignment for long-term relief from pain symptoms. For some, weekly treatment sessions might provide the greatest benefits. On the other hand, other patients may only need monthly appointments to experience satisfactory relief. When you come to Multi-Care for chiropractic care, a history, examination and x-rays (if needed) will allow our board-certified chiropractors to determine if we can help and treatment recommendations in advance so you will know what type of treatment program would be best for you.
