+ What is a Vertebral Subluxation?
Vertebral subluxation is when a vertebra is misaligned out of its normal position. Subluxations can have a physical cause like a minor fall, car accident, or any trauma to the body. They can also be caused by emotional and chemical stresses. When a vertebra is subluxated, it puts pressure on nerves, blood, lymphatic vessels, and everything around the area which interrupts the natural nerve pathways between the brain and the body.
+ What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment is the primary method used by doctors of chiropractic to free nervous system interference and restore proper alignment to the spine and cranium. There are over 100 types of adjusting techniques used by doctors of chiropractic performed by hand or instruments to correct spinal misalignments, restore nerve flow, enhance joint function, and reduce pain and inflammation. Some of these methods have been used since the ancient Greeks. Hippocrates documented adjusting techniques in 1500 BC.
A nervous system free of interference is essential for natural self-healing and vibrant health. In my office, I use gentle instrument adjusting (feels like light tapping) on vertebrae that need realignment. I also address stress and emotional triggers with Neuro-Emotional Technique.
+ Is Chiropractic Effective?
Yes! Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn ability to be healthy, rebalancing postural imbalances and structural misalignments that accumulate over time.
+ What can I Expect from my Chiropractic Visit?
Going to a doctor of chiropractic might be a new experience for you. Your first visit is about getting to know Dr. Teshna and the process, which includes a spinal and neuromuscular examination, medical history, current conditions and health goals. In our office we usually perform a chiropractic adjustment on the first visit so you can begin to feel better as soon as possible.
+ What Results can I Expect?
Dr. Teshna has the ability to help your body heal itself and naturally return to better function and performance.
Being out of alignment is much like when an electrical circuit breaker is off. As soon as the breaker is reconnected, most people will feel an immediate improvement in mobility and strength.
Dr. Teshna also addresses the important role that stress and emotions play in physical complaints using Neuro-Emotional Technique. Most patients usually feel better immediately following an NET session.
