What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractors understand that one of the main causes of pain and disease is the misalignment and abnormal motion of the vertebrae in the spinal column called a subluxation. Chiropractic works by removing these subluxations in the spine, thereby relieving pressure and irritation on the nerves, restoring joint mobility, and returning the body back to a state of normal function.

 
Numerous studies have demonstrated that chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments for back pain, neck pain, headaches, whiplash, sports injuries, and many other types of musculoskeletal problems. It has even been shown to be effective in reducing high blood pressure, decreasing the frequency of childhood ear infections, and improving the symptoms of asthma. More and more scientific research is demonstrating the tremendous detrimental impact that subluxation has on the tissue of the body. In order to be truly healthy, it is vital that your nervous system be functioning free of interference from subluxations. Chiropractors are the only health professionals trained in the detection, location, and correction of the vertebral subluxation complex through chiropractic care.
 
The chiropractic adjustment is a quick thrust applied to a vertebra to correct its position, movement, or both. Adjustments are often accompanied by an audible release of gas that sounds like a 'crack.' The sound sometimes shocks people a little bit the first couple of times they get adjusted, but the sensation is usually relieving. Occasionally, minor discomfort is experienced, especially if the surrounding muscles are in spasm or the patient tenses up during the chiropractic procedure. There are times when the audible 'cracking' does not occur. This is often due to either significant muscle tightness or that the patient may be having a hard time relaxing during their adjustments.

How does Chiropractic work?

Chiropractic doctors practice natural, drugless, non-invasive health care and rely on the body's ability to self-heal. Sounds ideal, but just how does it work?

We look at the whole picture

Like other health-care providers, we follow a standard routine to gain information about the patient. We consult, review the case history, conduct a physical examination, and we may request laboratory analyses and/or x-rays. Unlike other health-care providers, however, chiropractic physicians also conduct a careful analysis of the patient's structure and pay particular attention to the spine. We also ask you about your life- Do you eat well? Exercise at all? How do you deal with stress? Do you have children? What do you do for work? And so on.

We seek the origin of the problem 

Using this information, a diagnosis is made. Included in the diagnosis is the probable reason for your pain or discomfort. It is important to note that chiropractors seek the origin of the illness in order to eliminate it-we do not simply treat the symptoms. If your roof is leaking, do you simply catch the drips in a bucket for years on end, or do you repair the roof to prevent it from leaking? Similarly, if the migraine headache you've had all week is being caused by a misaligned vertebra and an irritated nerve, do you continue to take painkillers indefinitely, or do you realign the vertebra to prevent the pain? You get the picture.

We fix the origin of the problem 

Chiropractors have a term for misalignments: subluxations. A vertebral subluxation is a misalignment of the bones that protect the spinal cord. It's a leak in the roof. Or a kink in the wiring of your nervous system. The severity of the subluxation can vary, and there are a number of potential contributing factors that can be physical, emotional, mental, or chemical. The subluxation can be caused by any number of incidents, from birth trauma to an auto accident to simple repetition or over-use.

Advanced Therapeutic Services

At Advanced Spinal Care, we combine proven chiropractic techniques with modern, non-invasive therapies to help patients heal faster, move better, and experience lasting relief. Our comprehensive approach allows us to tailor care to each individual’s condition, goals, and lifestyle.

In addition to chiropractic adjustments and therapeutic massage, ASC offers advanced treatment options designed to support tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain without surgery or medication.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses controlled acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. These sound waves increase blood flow, break down tight or calcified tissue, and activate the body’s natural repair response. The treatment is performed on the surface of the skin, requires no anesthesia, and allows patients to return to normal activities right away.

Safety You Can Trust

Shockwave therapy has been widely researched and is considered a low-risk treatment with a strong safety profile. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or tapping, and side effects—such as temporary redness or tenderness—are typically minimal and short-lived. Because there are no incisions, medications, or injections involved, complications are rare, making it an excellent option for individuals seeking a conservative approach to pain relief.

Proven Results for Many Conditions

Patients often report noticeable improvements within a few sessions, especially for chronic tendon and soft-tissue conditions that have not responded well to other treatments. Shockwave therapy is frequently used for:

  • Low Back Sciatica and Spinal Pain 
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendon pain
  • Rotator cuff irritation
  • Tennis and golfer’s elbow
  • Hip and gluteal tendinopathies
  • Chronic muscle tightness or trigger points

Studies and patient experiences consistently show benefits such as reduced pain, improved mobility, faster healing, and better long-term function. Many individuals appreciate that results continue to build over time as the body completes its natural healing response.
Our clinic uses modern technology and customized treatment plans to ensure each session is comfortable, targeted, and effective. Whether you're dealing with a chronic injury or lingering pain that hasn’t improved with other therapies, shockwave therapy may offer the relief you’ve been looking for.

Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy, is a gentle and non-invasive treatment designed to support tissue repair and reduce pain. This technique uses specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin without producing heat, allowing the cells beneath to absorb the energy safely. As the light interacts with injured or inflamed tissues, it helps boost cellular activity, improve circulation, and accelerate the body’s natural healing processes.

Safe, Comfortable, and Drug-Free

Cold laser therapy is well-recognized for its strong safety profile. The treatment is painless—most patients feel only a mild, warm tingling or nothing at all during the session. Because it does not involve medication, needles, or surgery, it is a low-risk option for individuals seeking a natural and conservative approach to managing pain and inflammation. Side effects are rare and typically limited to mild temporary redness in the treated area.

How Patients Benefit

Many patients begin noticing improvements within just a few treatments, especially for conditions involving inflammation or soft-tissue irritation. Cold laser therapy is commonly used for:

  • Neck and back pain
  • Joint inflammation
  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Tendon and ligament injuries
  • Carpal tunnel symptoms
  • Arthritis-related discomfort

Patients often report reduced pain, decreased swelling, faster recovery times, and improved mobility. Because the therapy supports cellular repair, the benefits can continue to progress even after the session is complete.Our clinic uses advanced laser technology and personalized treatment protocols to ensure each session is targeted, comfortable, and effective. If you’re looking for a gentle, research-supported option to help your body heal naturally, cold laser therapy may be the right fit for you.
