The philosophy at Carmichael Chiropractic depends on utilizing the most noninvasive treatment possible. Dr. Carmichael has always based his philosophy on chiropractic/physical therapy first, drugs second and surgery last. “Once a part of your body is removed there’s no getting it back.”
Misalignments or Subluxations are areas of altered spinal function. These may interfere with nerve function in the body causing not only back pain, but possibly other types of health problems. Since your spine affects the nerves in all parts of your body, problems in your spine may cause many types of health problems.
Doctors of chiropractic treat patients by using manual adjustments to align the body especially the spine. Adjustments are usually performed by hand. They are gentle, precise maneuvers that require special knowledge of anatomy, as well as manual skill and dexterity. Our doctors and physical therapists tailor their adjustments and treatment to fit each specific patient’s unique needs. The spinal alignment and function will return little by little. As your body heals and repairs in response to the adjustments you will go through three phases to reach the ultimate goal of maximum correction and wellness. Those phases are relief, correction and strengthening. If we just get rid of the pain but not the cause, the symptoms typically return. That’s why we are dedicated to corrective care so that patient’s don’t return over and over with the same problem.
