The A4A Clinic is committed to empowering people to live their ideal life, so they can enhance the lives of those they influence.

Chiropractic is a form of manual therapy that uses hands-on adjustment of the spine to address pain in joints, ligaments, muscles and nerves. These adjustments work by influencing the nervous system to assist your body’s natural healing capabilities, leading to optimal recovery or improved health.

Although adjustments primarily deal with spinal manipulation, chiropractic can deal with all areas of the body. Every muscle, joint and organ in the body is connected to the brain by nerves — and these nerves get to and from the brain through the spinal column. Even conditions that seem removed from the spine can be positively affected by chiropractic.

Chiropractic Treatment

Chiropractic is often sought as a treatment option for neck and back pain relief. It may also be recommended as part of A4A’s Functional Integrated Approach in combination with other types of manual therapy. Treatment may target specific areas for pain relief in muscles, joints, bones and connective tissue.

Your chiropractor will go over your medical history to assess potential causes of pain and determine the appropriate course of treatment. Your treatment plan will outline how often appointments will be scheduled and include evaluations to determine your progress.

New to chiropractic at A4A Therapy Clinic? Here’s what you need to know.

In chiropractic, a trained chiropractor will first examine your whole spine to determine causes of pain or discomfort. Chiropractors use their hands to manipulate your spine, directing pressure to restore structural alignment or restore joint function.
