WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?

Chiropractic medicine is a safe and non-invasive method of treating musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders and their effects on the body.

Most chiropractic procedures involve spinal and joint manipulations with great attention to proper body mechanics, anatomy & physiology. These manipulations align the musculoskeletal system, relax muscle tightness, alleviate pain and restore mobility, allowing the body to heal and function properly. Most patients report little to no discomfort during a manipulation, and often leave feeling more aligned inside their body.

WHAT DOES CHIROPRACTIC TREAT?

Because adjusting the spine enables the central nervous system to function optimally, there are numerous conditions that benefit from chiropractic care.  Some of the most common conditions treated by chiropractors are back & neck pain, numbness & tingling, headaches and fibromyalgia.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM CHIROPRACTIC CARE?

Your first chiropractic treatment will be scheduled for one hour and will involve a comprehensive physical assessment by our chiropractic physician. You can expect that our chiropractor will ask you many questions about any symptoms you may be experiencing at the time of the initial appointment and your medical history. He will test your range of motion in critical body parts associated with your discomfort and help you to understand how chiropractic may or may not help you with your health goals. Our chiropractor will help you understand the course of care he feels will help you reach those health goals and may recommend other treatment modalities offered at our center and elsewhere that will speed you along your way to achieving short-term comfort and long-term optimal health and well-being.

What Our Clients Are Saying:

  • After months of pregnancy hip pain I came in for adjustment and have now been pain free ever since my second appointment 🙂 So glad I came!

    - Anna Olivio

  • About two years ago I injured my back and the Doctor told me that they could only give me some pain killers to help. After several acupuncture sessions I began to feel some changes in my back pain, and it has now improved with my health and I no longer take the pain meds and feel much better. Also, seeing Dr. Sean for Chiropractic has been instrumental in getting my back in good condition. I'm now walking on a treadmill four times a week. I am most grateful for Body Therapeutics for all they have done for me.

  • I have had very negative experiences with chiropractic care in the past but thought I would give it one last try. The results were AMAZING! I was relieved of so much pain, literally instantly, that night and after several more sessions I was back to my old self. No migraines, no additional trouble areas etc. like after leaving other practices. Dr. Sean is very gentle. I still come regularly and I now bring my son who plays hockey and had started to complain of some pain and stiffness. All around, everyone at Body Therapeutics have been wonderful, genuinely caring and provided excellent service!
