Chiropractic is a drug free way to deal with many different problems. For example, low back pain, neck pain, whiplash injuries, headaches, arm and leg pain, sciatica, postural strains, lifting injuries etc. At Advanced Chiropractic we also offer sports injury treatment for all conditions including sprains, strains, shoulder, knee, hip, ankle, elbow, wrist injuries etc.

Muscles that support the spine adapt, and become used to supporting the spine incorrectly, whether it is due to natural postural influences or injury. Then, if something happens that exceeds your body's ability to adapt, obvious symptoms can develop. So, while your health complaint may seem new, the underlying problem may have existed for years.

Reducing nervous system dysfunction by restoring normal motion or position of individual spinal bones is one your chiropractor's main goals. Children usually respond quickly. Yet, long standing spinal problems in adults can be difficult to fully correct, and may require months or even years of regular chiropractic care. Underlying muscle and soft tissue damage may require continued car long after the symptoms disappear. This type of treatment is known as maintenance care.

Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper spinal and nervous system function, promoting the healing process. Continued visits help retrain the supporting muscles and ligaments of your spine.

Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, the subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can put stress on joints higher up in your body, and lead to more serious problems.

1. localized foot pain
2. bunions, hammer toes
3. arch/heel pain
4. leg/knee pain
5. hip or back pain, even neck pain

The chiropractors at Advanced Chiropractic are all available to demonstrate how the Gaitscan(c) technology uses a computer pressure pad to assess and measure the dynamics of the foot. From these measurements, a custom pair of orthotics can be made to restore the normal patterns of your feet.
