Chiropractic Care & Adjustments

What is Chiropractic Care?
Doctors of Chiropractic have the skill, experience, knowledge, and training to care for joint related pain and disease. Doctors of Chiropractic have the practical experience to care for subluxated/misaligned joints. This care allows the body to heal itself without the need to take many medications and avoid surgery. Chiropractic care can cure your symptoms and help you live a happier healthier life without restraints.
What is a Subluxation?
A subluxation is defined as “an incomplete forward or lateral dislocation of one vertebra upon the one below or the one above, trauma sufficient to result in tearing or rupture of the supporting ligaments allow one vertebrae to drift away from the other” W.B Saunders 1987. Suluxations may be caused by trauma, psychological stress and tension over time, and toxins over time weakening the vertebral joint. When a subluxation is present, the nervous system will not function correctly and the body will not be able to heal itself. Over time subluxations can cause arthritis and degeneration in the spine.
What Causes Pain?
When a spinal vertebrae subluxates/misalignment the nerve is impinged and the joint does not function normally inflammation and swelling result. The inflammation and swelling can irritate nerves and cause pain immediately or over time. Muscles that attach to the bones of the subluxated joint may become taut or spasm and cause pain. It is the job of the Doctor of Chiropractic to identify and adjust these joints back into a normal position so the nerve system can function normally and your body can heal. The pain can be alleviated and the joint can heal. Misalignment can also be found and treated in other joints of the body such as shoulders, elbows, hands, feet, knees, and hips.
What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
After identifying how a vertebral joint has subluxated a Doctor of Chiropractic using their hands or instruments lightly adjusts or pushes the bone back into a normal position. This is called a Chiropractic adjustment. After an adjustment most patients notice some relief immediately. The adjustment helps the body move the vertebra into a more normal position.

Testimonials

“Dr. Tom and his staff are very nice people. They made me feel welcome. I went in almost 3 weeks ago with a right leg and back and hip issue, I was limping when I walked because I felt pain. Dr. Tom took the time to understand and address the issue, and he explained the treatment plan well. I’m also grateful that I got to receive a deep tissue massage from Heidi, she is great! The therapy I’m receiving is working well! This past weekend I walked a lot and didn’t even noticed that I was walking without limping and didn’t feel pain when walking. Great place I truly recommend it!”
Alejandra Santillan

“Dr. Tom Collins is seriously the best! One of the nicest and most compassionate Chiropractors I've ever worked with. I've had problems for years from car accidents. I've seen many different chiropractors but none fixed my issues and just kept me coming back. I'm now working with the massage therapist there, Heidi. Let me tell you game changer! Finally on the road to recovery which I'm so grateful and happy about. I even got my skeptical husband who never goes to any doctor unless his arm is hanging by a limb. He has finally seen the benefits and now he doesn't have his legs going numb from bulging discs. Dr. Collins truly is the best and actually figures out the real problems and solutions.”
