Chiropractors are health care professionals trained in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries and disorders of the neuro-musculoskeletal system (nerves, muscles, fascia, joints/bones), with a emphasis on minimally invasive treatment without the use of medication if possible. Chiropractors are also concerned with normal spinal and joint mechanics that can be adversely affected from the wear and tear of postural imbalance and or injuries.

 

Dr. Blum employs a wide range of chiropractic adjustment/manipulation techniques:

• manual hands on adjusting (diversifed)

• drop table

• activator (patients call it the "clicky thing")

• low force mobilization

 

Benefits of an adjustment/manipulation:

• normal joint motion restoration

• pain relief through neurological input

• reduces pressure on nerve tissue (helps with scaitica and other nerve conditions)

• restores body mechanics
