Joint Manipulation
Chiropractic joint manipulation consists of a gentle and quick force applied to a joint within the body that is displaying abnormal motion or position. Typically referred to as a chiropractic adjustment, the goal of joint manipulation is to restore proper motion and optimal biomechanical function.
Chiropractic encompasses a remarkably wide spectrum of beliefs, techniques, and philosophies. Spinal manipulations have been the at the root of chiropractic care for over a century. While some chiropractors feel that the spinal adjustment or manipulation is the cure-all for all of the body's ailments, there is a growing specialization within chiropractic that focuses on the soft tissue (muscle, tendon, ligament, nerve, and fascia) as opposed to strictly structural alignment.
At Essex Integrative Health, we understand that muscles and soft tissues regulate joint motion, therefore if something is out of alignment or displaying altered movement patterns, the soft tissues are a contributing, if not causative, factor that need to be addressed. Providing strictly structural alignment while ignoring the adjacent soft tissues is to provide relief that is often short-lived. Our soft tissue therapies include deep myofascial release, dry needling, cupping, and strengthening & corrective exercises.
Our goal is to provide an all encompassing treatment plan, focusing on joint motion, compromised soft tissues, and overall health & wellbeing.
