The Pelham Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Pelham

Our Techniques

At Southern Pines Chiropractic Center we use a three tiered approach to your health.  We will address you structurally, nutritionally, and environmentally.

Structurally

Dr. Jessica uses a couple of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach I use is based on my judgment and years of experience.

At Southern Pines Chiropractic Center Dr. Jessica uses a wide variety of adjusting styles tailored to your specific needs.

First, an analysis of the spine is performed. This can initially involve a case history and X-ray pictures of the spine.

Subsequent visits may include motion palpation, with the chiropractor feeling the spinal joints move as you turn and bend. Or, a leg check may be performed, to uncover an imbalance in the neck or lower spine.

With the malposition of one or more spinal bones identified, a specific manual thrust is administered. The direction, speed, depth and angle that are used is the result of experience, practice and a thorough understanding of spinal mechanics.

The energy delivered during the thrust may produce a slight “popping” sound from shifting gas and fluids in the joint. This sound may be interesting, but has little meaning as to the value and effectiveness of the adjustment.

While improving spinal biomechanics can reduce nervous system interferences, virtually all joints of the body can be adjusted to help restore proper range of motion.

We will then evaluate your nervous system function measuring heart rate, muscle tone, organ function and your body’s ability to bounce back from stress.  

Nutritionally

For patients that want to achieve a higher level of health we will begin to evaluate their nutritional habits.  Meal diaries are assessed and suggestions given to improve the bodies performance.  For more complicated health concerns we also offer saliva testing, hair analysis, and nutritional testing.

Environmentally

We also evaluate both your physical environment, but also your mental environment, what is holding you back from reaching you health goals.

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Dr. Jessica know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.
