Pain is an inevitable part of life. People try different ways to deal with pain and see what works best for them. Chiropractic adjustments are most popular regarding joint pain, accidental injuries such as whiplash, removing muscle tension, improving physical performance, etc. Several chiropractic techniques can help patients find relief from their pain or other signs. The most common is diversified treatment, which involves spinal manipulation and adjustment of the spinal column, arms, and legs. It combines the best techniques from other manipulation methods, which involve low amplitude thrust to adjust the spine and correct any joint dysfunction.
A chiropractor thoroughly examines the patient's medical history, family history, and signs or symptoms that help determine the problem. They also perform physical examinations and diagnostic tests, such as X-rays and MRIs, to understand the patient's source of pain or other symptoms and rule out other conditions.
The idea is to understand the spine's condition and identify areas of adjustment. The chiropractor uses high velocity with low amplitude thrust adjustment to misaligned joints or vertebrae to help the patient find relief. A popping sound comes when the pressure changes in the joint, releasing nitrogen gas. This often provides comfort and immediate improvement in the spinal area. The adjustment is performed depending on the patient's problematic area.
Chiropractic adjustments are performed to decrease pain inflammation, restore joint biomechanics, and work on muscle spasms. The idea is to restore normal movement and help the patient's overall well-being.

kat m.Santa Rosa, CaliforniaDr. Mike has helped me tremendously. After a failed back surgery in 2019, I once again had a bulging disc and pinched nerve and was experiencing debilitating back and sciatic pain and was unable to move around without severe pain. I was concerned about the possibility of another back surgery and the reliance on pain medication. Using the latest technology, Dr. Mike was able to decompress my spine using the Accu-Spina machine. Dr. Mike provided an alternative to traditional medicine, helping me to avoid another horrific back surgery. He provided an effective non-surgical treatment that I will be forever thankful for. He is very knowledgeable and professional and he keeps up on the latest technology. I am so thankful for his expertise and care. I highly recommend Dr. Mike. *
