"My daughter, Rachel, started having ear infections at 4 months of age. We continuously battled them until her first birthday, in which we tentatively scheduled surgery to have tubes put in her ears. After we scheduled the surgery, which we later cancelled, we came to Dockter-Lutz Chiropractic to see if they could help her. Within 2 weeks her ears were clear and two months after the initial treatment they still remain clear and ear infection free. She is a much happier baby now. I would highly recommend Dockter-Lutz Chiropractic to anyone. They have done incredible work for Rachel and myself." ~ M.B. |
Chiropractic AdjustmentsChiropractic adjustments are helpful in preventing or reducing the wear and tear that our joints and ligaments are exposed to every day. Why would that be so? When our spine is in a proper functional position, the joints and ligaments operate as designed with fluid motion. However, if a joint of the body is not in a proper position, that joint will not work smoothly. Over time, this wear and tear causes something known as osteoarthritis.
There are many different types of chiropractic adjusting procedures. At Dockter-Lutz Chiropractic, we utilize hands-only techniques which we have found give a better response in the healing and maintenance of the spine and its supporting structures. Many times, a cracking or popping sensation is heard during an adjustment. This represents a change in fluid pressure in the joint with rapid motion. When the pressure changes it causes gas bubbles to be released in the fluid and the "pop" sound. While many patients enjoy hearing this sound, the sound itself does not indicate the quality of the adjustment received. |
