Chiropractic Care
Interference in our nervous system (the network of nerves and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body) causes dysfunction in the body. With custom chiropractic adjustments, Watertown chiropractor Dr. Chris is able to remove this interference from the nervous system, allowing for optimal health and improved function across your life.
Benefits of Chiropractic
Chiropractic adjustments allow the body to function at its highest level. In addition to pain relief, adjustments have a number of benefits, including strengthening the body’s immune system, reducing inflammation, improving posture (which leads to better breathing), reducing the risk of sports-related injuries, and decreasing recovery time should an injury occur. Because they feel better overall, people who receive adjustments regularly tend to be happier.
Oien Family Chiropractic Clinic Techniques
All of the techniques used at Oien Family Chiropractic Clinic are safe, gentle, and effective. Dr. Chris will use the technique (or techniques) best-suited to your individual circumstances, and will make sure you are totally comfortable with the chosen approach.
The specific techniques used at Oien Family Chiropractic Clinic include:
- Gonstead & Diversified. With these approaches, a gentle manual thrust is applied to free up spinal joints that have become “stuck.”
- Thompson. A very soft approach, Thompson is ideal for someone with any type of bone condition.
- Extremity Adjusting. Problems in the extremities – including the ankle, foot, toes, elbow, wrist, hand, fingers, hip, and shoulder – can lead to chronic spinal issues. Extremity adjusting can prevent those issues and can also treat specific problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome, poor gait, and poor posture.
- Activator Method. A gentle instrument adjustment that offers a low force way to perform the chiropractic adjustment.
We use the adjustment technique best suited for the individual patient and their personal preferences. Book an appointment today!
