Chiropractic
At Preston Family Chiropractic we provide high tech, low force chiropractic care. This is very different from the traditional manual adjustment that is commonly known here in Canada. The doctors at Preston Family Chiropractic were trained at the first school for chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Throughout their years of training the doctors have incorporated many low force techniques and adjunctive therapies into their practice to find to most efficient way to get their clients become pain free and healthier faster.
Our doctors use instruments like the Activator and the Erchonia Adjustor to ensure a low force adjustment. This allows for very specific adjustments of the joints of the spine and extremities without the need for taking the area to a point of making a cracking or crunching noise. It is comfortable for the patient, particularly when there is a considerable amount of pain at the area of injury.
Our techniques and modalities are high tech and are utilized to achieve a great level of pain reduction and health improvement in a time efficient manner. Our doctors use the Erchonia Low Level Laser to decrease inflammation and speed up healing as well as the Erchonia Percussor to address any soft tissue restrictions that surround the area of injury or instability.
The two major benefits of this type of care are,
- Very specific and fast adjusting techniques do not require any joint cavitations (crack/crunch) to achieve the desired outcome.
- The adjustment is supported and enhanced by soft tissue therapies.
Our clients report that:
- Pain relief is often immediate.
- They are amazed at how fast they are recovering and returning to their pre-injury activities.
- Their anxiety about receiving chiropractic adjustments is greatly reduced.
- Adjustments with this chiropractic technique provide relief for longer periods than other types of adjustments.
Chiropractic FAQ'S
What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a manual technique of removing nerve irritation from the body by performing an adjustment (a specific impulse applied to a specific area of the spine or body with the goal of restoring function to the nervous system). The chiropractic adjustment is usually done by hand or with a specialized adjusting instrument, such as an Activator.
As a new client what happens first?
Your chiropractor will perform an exam, drawing from knowledge gained from many years of training, in order to identify areas of nerve irritation throughout your body. Once the problem areas have been identified a proper diagnosis can be reached and an appropriate course of treatment (which may or may not include chiropractic care) will be discussed with the new client.
Do I have to start care after the initial exam?
No. In our office you are always in charge of making your own health care choices. Our doctors are here to provide a healing service and to impart to you as much information as possible to help you make informed health care choices.
If I decide to start chiropractic care, do I have to come for the rest of my life?
Again, the amount and duration of your care is completely up to you. The doctors at Preston Family Chiropractic will give you their best recommendations for care but ultimately you decide if you wish to benefit from acute or preventative care.
I have heard there is sometimes a cracking sound heard during adjustments. Do you do this kind of adjusting?
No. There are actually hundreds of different chiropractic techniques for adjusting the spine. Our doctors were educated at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where they had the good fortune to be exposed to a diverse number of low force adjusting techniques. Their primary adjusting techniques do not produce any reactive sounds from the body, save for the sighs of relief expressed by happy patients who have less pain and more balance to their nervous systems!
