Adjustments

The cornerstone of chiropractic health treatment is spinal manipulation, often called the "adjustment". It involves gentle pressure to restore normal position or motion to joints that have become restricted or "locked" while relieving pressure on nerves and strain on muscles. While manipulation may be performed by other physicians, doctors of chiropractic have the most extensive experience and education in manipulation. Numerous scientific studies have proven the efficacy, safety, cost-effectiveness and high levels of patient satisfaction of spinal manipulation.

Bourdage Chiropractic specializes in a non-invasive treatment by using Diversified and Flexion-Distraction techniques.

Diversified treatment is a combination of many different methods through the integration of a detailed history and thorough biomechanical examination which involves both your nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

Flexion-distraction is a technique that involves the use of a specialized table that gently distracts or stretches the spine which allows the chiropractor to isolate the area of disc involvement while slightly flexing the spine in a pumping rhythm. The tractioning or distraction of the disc combined with isolation and gentle pumping of the involved area allows the central area of the disc to assume its central position in the disc away from the nerve, and reducing inflammation of the nerve root with the associated pain. There is no pain involved in the treatment and the gentle chiropractic techniques are enjoyed by patients of all ages, from children to adults.
