What is chiropractic care and how does it work?
Chiropractic care is a holistic medical therapy focused on addressing pain and inflammation without medication or invasive procedures. Treatment involves hands-on techniques to gently adjust joints and soft tissue that may be restricted or misaligned. These adjustments help restore proper movement, reduce pressure on nerves, enhance flexibility, and promote circulation, which can help improve the health of various organs and tissues so the body can heal efficiently.
Chiropractic care can treat a wide range of health conditions, including:
Sports injury
including iliotibial (IT) band syndrome, Achilles tendinitis, tennis or golfer’s elbow
Chronic Pain
including fibromyalgia, arthritis, and migraines
Musculoskeletal problems
like back and neck pain, joint pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome
Most insurance plans are accepted. For questions regarding coverage, please contact your insurance company. For information on self-pay pricing, please call our office staff at 973-971-6301 x1.
