The word "chiropractic" comes from the Greek words cheir (hand) and praxis (action) and literally means "done by hand." Instead of prescribing drugs or performing surgeries, chiropractors use manual treatments of the spine and joints, along with therapies and lifestyle changes to allow the body's natural state of health to fully express itself. Here are some of the manipulation techniques you may come across at a chiropractic office. 

  • Manual Technique
    Category: Therapies & Techniques, Techniques

    Manual therapy, also known as manipulative therapy, is a physical treatment primarily used by chiropractors to treat musculoskeletal pain and debility. How Does Manual Therapy Work? This form of physical therapy takes a hands-on approach rather than using devices or machines. When a chiropractor uses

  • Drop-Table Technique
    Category: Therapies & Techniques, Techniques

Scar tissue restricts the tissues from moving freely because they bind them and tie them

Testimonio

  • "Vine a Salud Quiropráctica referido por el Sr. Rosado. Había visitado muchos médicos que lo único que me recetaban eran pastillas para el dolor. No tenía calidad de vida. Ni podía hacer actividad alguna sin experimentar dolor insoportable en el cuello. Empecé el tratamiento con la Dra. Delerme en junio 20, 2013. Puedo asegurar que mi vida ha vuelto a tener la calidad de antes. Puedo jugar con mis hijas sin ese dolor horrible de cuello. En esta clínica me siento cómodo y en buena compañ"
