More than just adjustments
Apart from helping you in adjusting your joints to relieve you of pains, chiropractors can also offer many adjunctive therapies that will be of help to you.

- Decompression: Decompression helps heal compressed discs, herniated discs, degenerated discs, facet pain, stenosis, pain running into a limb, and sciatica
- Ultrasound: Ultrasound is most often taken as imaging technology, what most people don’t understand is that if applied to joints and soft tissues, sound waves can produce massaging effects that help in the reduction of swelling and alleviate stiffness and pains.
