Skokie Chiropractor 60077 Chiropractic Techniques You Should Know PART TWO
Published by Chicago Chiropractor Seaman Chiropractic on Friday, December 18, 2009 at 1:06 PM.
I am Dr Cynthia Seaman, chiropractor and owner of Seaman Chiropractic with Part 2 of Chiropractic Techniques You Should Know. I've used my healing hands to help folks in Skokie for more than 25 years. I adjust all joints of the body that need it, either due to decreased motion, pinched spinal nerve, bulging or herniated discs or stenosis; all of these conditions usually mean pain for the patient. I will describe two more techniques I use as a chiropractor to help relieve my patients' pain.
Flexion-Distraction:
This technique is so successful for disc problems which can affect all your organs and conditions like sciatica [Leg pain], neuralgia and complaints related to bulged and herniated discs, facet syndromes, and other low back pains and complaints. I am amazed I have found less than four chiropractors in Chicago using it. It is also a gentle, non-force technique as are all my methods. It works by pumping spinal discs to increase healing and relieve pinched nerves so they can begin to heal. I use a combination of my hands and a electric table that moves up and down at specific sections of your spine.You are on a comfortable, cushioned table on your stomach.
Activator:
It is a small hand-held instrument used to realign bones. It was designed to be an alternative method to the manual techniques chiropractors employ to manipulate the spine. I place the tip of the chiropractic activator against the area of the area to be manipulated. I adjust the angle of the intended pressure and apply pressure to the chiropractic activator. The instrument then delivers a precisely-measured gentle thrust in a specific direction thus coaxing misaligned bones back into place.
It is very gentle and it is especially great for patients who are scared of having their head turned or hearing a noise in their neck or for smaller joints like wrists, ribs, ankles, knees and jaws (TMJ).
All the techniques I use are safe, effective and successful. All of my chiropractic methods can be safely used on clients of any age from infants to geriatrics.
