Why Is Our Approach Different?
We take the time to understand what is causing your discomfort and design an approach specifically for you. Many common treatments for pain and disease only cover symptoms without addressing the underlying cause. Worse yet, some may have long-term detrimental effects. Pain is a sharp, urgent message from the body, signaling something has gone awry. Our approach is to identify the cause and promote the body’s natural ability to heal. By creating an optimal environment for healing in the body, we can address the root cause while providing lasting pain relief. We use an evidence-informed approach and we also work with a network of medical specialists to ensure our patients get the care they need.
Why do I need chiropractic care when I’m not in pain?
Muscle and joint imbalances may not produce pain or symptoms initially. However, these compensatory patterns can lead to significant issues over time. The body is incredibly adaptable, and these changes may not be immediately noticeable. For example, studies on runners show that asymmetries in leg strength or hip mobility often precede injuries like IT band syndrome or knee pain - sometimes by years.
- Uneven distribution on muscles or joints: if one side is stronger, tighter, or more flexible than the other, the body adjusts by redistributing weight and forces. When it comes to muscles, joints, and tendons, overburdening some and underutilizing others stresses them in ways they were not designed for. This wear on the joint builds silently.
- Postural changes: imbalances often nudge your posture out of alignment. For example, tight hip flexors or weak glutes will create pelvic imbalance. Over time, this creates strain on your lower back, knees, or even shoulders as your body tries to adapt.
- Compensatory patterns: without symptoms to alert you, these imbalances train your nervous system into inefficient movement habits. A weak core might make your shoulders hunch during lifting, stressing the neck. A runner with tight calves might not feel ankle stiffness, but years of altered stride could lead to plantar fasciitis or shin splints. Over time, these patterns erode joint stability and create pain.
