When we adjust a subluxation, we are addressing a joint that is fixated. This fixation causes tissue changes, lack of proper motion and nerve interference. Adjusting the segment allow the joint to move properly again, relieving all of those symptoms.

Adjusting someone involves many elements, from the assessment, the technique, the execution. These things can only be learned through years of training and experience at a college of chiropractic. I would definitely not recommend adjusting anyone until the knowledge of how to do so is learned, as you could end up doing more harm than good.

A muscle pull typically requires treatment beyond solely adjusting the spine. Many chiropractors practice treating all ailments and some only treat the spine. At Live Well Chiropractic and Medical we have many techniques and modalities to treat muscular issues, such as ultrasound therapy, cold laser therapy, kinesiology taping, manual therapies, therapeutic exercises, cryotherapy, dry needling, acupuncture and more. You should easily be able to be taken care of, it just comes down to finding the right facility.

Adjustments to the knee joint along with other therapeutic modalities have been shown to help treat knee tendonitis.

It starts with examination and proper diagnosing of the issue that is causing pain in the knee. From that point we can design a plan of care that we feel would be best for that particular issue. It can range from adjusting the knee joint, ultrasound therapy, cold laser, therapeutic exercises among other options.

It depends on the root of the sciatic pain. If the sciatic pain is coming from issues such as foraminal encroachment or degenerative disc disease then chiropractic would be the best route to go. Massage can be helpful if your symptoms are stemming from peripheral nerve entrapment. At Live Well Chiropractic and Medical we have both and after careful examination and diagnosis we would choose which would be best for you, or simply just try both.
