MCR Chiropractic

Chiropractic care is not only for back pain. While it’s commonly known for treating neck and low back issues, it actually focuses on the health of the spine and nervous system—which affects the entire body. Chiropractic care can also help with: Headaches and migraines Neck and shoulder tension Joint pain (hips, knees, wrists) Posture and alignment issues Mobility and flexibility Injury recovery and prevention Many people also use chiropractic care proactively, not just when they’re in pain, to maintain overall wellness and keep their body functioning at its best.

Following consultation and examination, a program of care will be designed and customized to your specific needs. This program is centered around the chiropractic adjustment, a method of treatment unique to chiropractic, which corrects spinal dysfunctions. The primary goal of an adjustment is to improve spinal alignment and motion, thereby relieving nerve irritation, pressure, and pain. You may feel immediate improvement after an adjustment, although most people experience gradual, progressive relief of symptoms. Since adjustments restore motion to previously locked joints, ligaments and tendons begin to stretch back to their normal length. This lengthening may cause slight muscle soreness similar to that brought on by rigorous exercise. If you experience these sensations, be assured that within days you’ll likely be enjoying the benefits of improved spinal motion with less pain that results from a healthier spine. For the best results, follow the plan that your chiropractor recommends for you.
