The Doctor Asks...

Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?

Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Plano chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.

Is average normal or is normal average?

Every chiropractor knows that so-called "normal" is merely an average. What's normal for you may not be normal for anyone else. So the chiropractic approach to better health is to tailor our approach to the unique needs of each of our Plano practice members.

Our Chiropractic Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Upper Cervical Specific (Grostic)

We'll study the relationship between your head and the two uppermost bones of your spine and then document your improvement with before and after X-rays. read more»
