Full Life Chiropractic FAQs

Good question! At Full Life Chiropractic, we focus on the detection and correction of vertebral subluxations. We think of our spine as holding us upright and aiding in our movement, which of course it does, but it’s other job is to protect the delicate spinal cord. The brain, spinal cord and nerves carry messages throughout the body and control its important functions. If the individual moving bones (the vertebra) become misaligned (subluxated), they can impede the normal flow of these messages which results in the malfunction of the body’s tissues. By restoring proper spinal biomechanics and reducing their effects on the nervous system, the body is able to return to optimal health and function.

A chiropractic adjustment is the art of using a gentle, specific force in a precise direction to a joint that is not moving properly or is misaligned. This adds motion to the joint, and allows it to return to a more normal motion and position. There are many ways to adjust the spine. At Full Life Chiropractic, we use the Blair Upper Cervical technique, an extremely gentle and accurate technique that doesn’t require twisting or cracking.
