Chiropractic care is a whole-body approach to health. The parts of the body all interact with each other; if one part is hurting, it affects the other parts. Chiropractic adjustments help to keep the messages flowing between each individual body part and the brain. Dr. David Slossberg of Ponte Vedra Beach Chiropractic in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL offers chiropractic care to the entire family from the very youngest to the elderly.

Subluxation

Chiropractic adjustments can be done in a number of different ways. We offer traditional and gentle approaches. They can be done with hands only or with small instruments. When the vertebrae have moved out of their normal position, that is known in the chiropractic world as a subluxation. This impacts not only the spine but the muscles and nerves around it. The longer it goes untreated, the more time it takes to return it to natural function.

Causes of subluxation

Vertebrae can move out of position as a result of a variety of different types of injuries. It can be just a simple slip and fall or whiplash from an auto accident. Many conditions can be improved by chiropractic treatment. For many people, the problem is simply back pain. More than 60 million people suffer from back pain with about 8 million suffering from chronic back pain. But because the back works with so many other parts of the body, it isn’t just back pain that improves through adjustments.

In order for the body to perform at its maximum level, all things must be in balance, including the spine. When you visit the chiropractor, we will evaluate your spine with their hands to determine where any misalignments are located. We will also discuss any health conditions you may have to determine the amount of pressure that should be applied.

Being able to treat pain without pharmaceuticals is one of the main benefits of chiropractic adjustments. It is non-invasive and, for many people, it provides the relief they have been searching for.
