About us
Chiropractic is a lot more than a chiropractor popping your back, as you’ll discover at Leading Edge Chiropractic in Reno, NV. Chiropractors believe one of the main causes of back pain and neck pain is subluxation: that’s when your vertebrae are not correctly aligned and your joints can’t move as well as they should. Chiropractors treat subluxations with a combination of techniques, including applied pressure, massage, and manual manipulation of the vertebrae and joints (called adjustments).
Chiropractors believe that good health is determined by a healthy nervous system, particularly a healthy spinal column. Occasionally, vertebrae become misaligned and place pressure on the nerves exiting the spinal cord. The misalignment of a vertebra is called a chiropractic subluxation.
When subluxations occur, chiropractors use specific techniques to return the vertebrae into their proper positions or mobilize them so they can move freely. These techniques are called spinal manipulations or adjustments. During an adjustment, the vertebra is freed from the misaligned position and returned to the proper position in the spinal column. Once performed, the adjustment allows the body to heal and maintain homeostasis.
Chiropractors are trained in a variety of adjustment techniques. Some are done by hand; some require the use of specialized instruments. Since each patient is different, your chiropractor will choose the best technique for your condition. However, feel free to ask the chiropractor which technique he or she will be doing and how it will be done.
Keep in mind that you may need to return to the chiropractor’s office for additional adjustments before you experience complete relief from your symptoms.

Sierra C. asked:So I've got this neck & shoulder (much like yours I'm sure) except mine haven't been working properly for several months now. Pain pain and more sharp pain. Weakness in hand and arm. I ice. I heat. I stretch (maybe not as much as I should). I massage. I Salonpas. I Advil. But still the muscles hurrrrt and hinder. This mama doesn't have a lot of time for PT appointments. So does anyone out there have any suggestions for my pain-in-the-neck neck that I can do at home?Holly T. replied:Best chiropractor in town- Bryan Hansen at: http://www.leadingedgechiro.com (I also agree...
