Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is a powerful and natural way to activate the body’s inherent healing ability by using manual or Low-Force Chiropractic Adjustments. Chiropractic is a science and an art that focuses on the relationship between the nervous system and function of the body. The nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ, and body system.
ACC Position on Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.
The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. In addition, Doctors of Chiropractic recognize the value and responsibility of working in cooperation with other health care practitioners when in the best interest of the patient
Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC)
A chiropractic adjustment is the application of a low force thrust to a joint to reinstate proper function of the nervous system while restoring proper motion and stability to the joint.
However, it’s about more than just your back. Chiropractor’s also address neck, shoulder, elbow, knee, hip, ankle and feet concerns.
Dr. Kelly M. Spore’s Approach
Dr. Spore uses multiple techniques which enable her to specifically meet your unique needs. She combines soft tissue techniques, chiropractic adjustments, cold laser therapy, sound therapy and color therapy during a chiropractic session. Dr. Spore provides gentle, low-force chiropractic adjustments by using an Activator or Adjustor. These are hand- held instruments used to perform a low force, precise adjustment to the joint.
Cold Laser Therapy/Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
Dr. Spore uses low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to help the you heal faster and better. The laser alters cellular function to decrease oxidative stress and increase ATP production thereby improving cell metabolism and providing noticeable pain relief quickly.
