The spine may become misaligned due to sports injuries, accidents, improper lifting of objects or even due to incorrect postures. The 2013 Consumer reports have rated chiropractic care as number one in treating low back pain. Licensed and experienced practitioners at HealthQuest focus on treating the condition quickly and providing maximum comfort to patients. They rely on spinal manipulation to relieve nerve pressure, thus enhancing proper chemical balance and function. Chiropractic adjustments can also:
• Improve blood circulation
• Release blockages
• Promote natural healing
• Improve the immune system
Different diagnostic techniques such as X-ray or MRI will be used to determine whether the spine is out of alignment. A thorough evaluation will be done to determine the range of motion and the actual cause of pain as well as to evaluate the risk in the application of a chiropractic adjustment. Once the misalignment is identified, the chiropractor will perform spinal adjustment that restores proper alignment and range of movement, relieving pain.
Chiropractors at this rehabilitation center also utilize highly advanced pain relieving modalities such as TENS, ultrasound and traction to improve the therapeutic power of the treatment. Patients’ progress will be monitored periodically to adjust the treatment accordingly. Treatment methods also incorporate nutrition counseling, exercise programs, muscle stretches and massages for strengthening and stabilizing the spine.
Well-equipped with the latest in technology, testing tools, rehabilitation equipment, and treatment techniques the team is dedicated to better serve the patients' needs.
