Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy (CMT)
Simply put, chiropractic adjustments aim to restore proper range of motion to joints and tissues through manual manipulation. Whether it’s due to inappropriate movement, a poorly managed injury, physical stress, emotional stress, postural stress, or inefficient stabilization, we develop compensations and stiffness around our joints.
A chiropractic adjustment helps to correct spinal misalignments and reestablish range of motion, thereby allowing spastic muscles around the joints to relax, as well as reduce spinal compression. This not only applies to the spine but also to the joints of the extremities (ankle, knee, foot, hip, wrist, elbow, shoulder). It is extremely safe and an excellent alternative to other, more invasive medical procedures.
