Chiropractic & Physical Medicine

Chiropractic treatment is often defined as conservative medicine or physical medicine. It is the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of illness with physical medicine techniques. Chiropractors use a variety of conservative measures to help patients reach their health goals. They utilize a variety of joint mobilizing techniques which improve neurological function, restore joint mobility, and reduce pain symptomatology. Furthermore, they incorporate nutritional management, physical therapy, biomechanical, and postural re-education into their rehabilitation programs to improve patient outcomes.

We use the most modern clinical techniques and diagnostic tools to correctly identify and treat the most complex of problems. At Alpha, our Chiropractors work hand in hand with our other specialists, to customize an integrated treatment program for each individual patient.
