Chiropractic Care

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is designed around keeping your Central Nervous System (CNS) healthy. When there’s a problem with your CNS, such as a misalignment, communication between the spine and the brain is blocked.

Our job is to identify joint misalignments, specifically in the spine. We assess the joint to see if it’s moving correctly. Chiropractic provides the tools to determine what’s wrong, how to correct it and how to keep it from happening again.

Restoring Balance with Focused Care

Our patients have seen improvement from focused chiropractic care in relation to:

Headaches

Headaches are not normal and should not be taken lightly. Whether they’re the primary concern or something you just deal with, they can be a symptom of other conditions. Dr. Kunz finds this to be the most common complaint he deals with.

In many cases, he finds a problem with the curve of the spine in the neck. This creates pressure on certain areas of the vertebrae, leading to headache pain. Relieving headache pain can change the patient’s quality of life.

Low back pain

This is the second most common complaint Dr. Kunz sees. He places them in 3 main categories:

1. Hip issues — hips are out of place, not level or rotated, keeping the spine from functioning properly. Vertebrae become misaligned, press on the nervous system and cause pain.
2. Issues that develop over time. This is what he sees most. Patients are unable to identify a specific occurrence tied to their current pain.
3. Pain from an injury or accident. Maybe you picked up a heavy object, fell down the stairs or were in a motor vehicle accident.

Allergies

Allergies are very common in the Midwest. Over the years, many patients have gotten relief with chiropractic care. As a former allergy sufferer, Dr. Kunz has experienced the difference living without allergies can make.

Knee/Shoulder/Ankle Pain

Chiropractic care is for all the joints in your body, not just your spine. Many times, a simple adjustment can bring great relief and help restore an achy joint. Chiropractic can extend the life of someone’s joints so they can continue to enjoy the activities they love.

Wellness Care

This is the most important care. After pain has been relieved and balanced restored to your body, don’t you want it to stay that way? Wellness chiropractic visits get rid of the stress in your spine, so you can stay at your best. It makes sense, once you get your health and function back, to take care of your body to stay healthy for a lifetime.

These are just some examples of how chiropractic care can help. Whatever your issue might be, there’s a good chance chiropractic can make it better.

Our 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 clinical judgment and years of experience. The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

• Diversified – After identifying which vertebrae have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is applied to free up “stuck” spinal joints.
• Activator Methods® – This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust.
• Gonstead – This full spine approach relies on X-rays and a heat-sensing instrument for a thorough evaluation and documented results.
• Thompson – Thompson Terminal Point technique is a system of analysis and a special table that reduces the amount of energy needed to adjust your spine.

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