Chiropractic Care
At Vissers Chiropractic, the foundation
of your treatment will be the Chiropractic
adjustment. A Chiropractic adjustment is
the use of a specific force in a precise direction that helps
normalize spinal function. The adjustment is applied to
a joint that is fixated, "locked up", or not moving properly.
Adjustments help return the bones to a more normal position
and/or motion, restoring the body's natural healing
abilities.
Dr. Vissers utilizes two different methods of
adjustments. The primary method is the manual adjustment
which is accomplished using the diversified technique.
This technique is a combination of various other specialized
techniques and is one of the more prevalent techniques
employed by most chiropractors.
The 2nd method is the use of a
computerized adjustment tool, the Pro-Adjuster. The
Pro-Adjuster is a computer-assisted tool that uses space age
technology that pinpoints spinal dysfunction and abnormal
spinal motion, then corrects it with repetitive tapping on the
spinal segment. This technique is very useful for patients
that have:
1) a
high level of apprehension towards manual
adjusting
2) recently
been traumatized
3) recently
undergone surgery
4) significant
levels of spinal degenerative changes
Depending on your condition, Dr. Vissers may use
the Pro-Adjuster or may perform your adjustment the more
traditional way.
