Chiropractic Adjustments

A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle and specific force delivered by a chiropractor to spinal vertebrae to correct misalignment and relieve nerve interference. Chiropractors use a variety of adjusting techniques. Most commonly, the chiropractor uses his/her hands to deliver a quick pressure. Other times the chiropractor may use a slow constant pressure, while some use a specially designed instrument or table. Dr. Gottlieb evaluates each patient’s unique spinal problem and determines the best chiropractic adjustment technique. Our chiropractic clinic includes state-of-the-art tables and adjusting tools allowing chiropractor Dr. Gottlieb to provide the best care for each of our chiropractic patients. We focus on caring for the spine by analyzing the spine for misalignments and correcting them with spinal adjustments. The success with our patients is due to a combined effect of adjustments by our chiropractor and each person’s ability to heal. Chiropractic does not cure disease or treat symptoms, chiropractic simply frees up the nervous system so the body can heal itself.

Family Chiropractic - Chiropractic for Children

Chiropractic care for children is growing rapidly and many more pediatricians now recommend bringing children to a chiropractor for ailments such as ear infections, colic, reflux, enuresis (bed wetting), ADHD, ADD, mood disorders, and chronic illness. Chiropractic is most beneficial for children because their nervous systems are developing. When a child receives care from a chiropractor, their incidence of disease is much less common and severe. When a chiropractor removes a child’s subluxations, the child’s nervous system functions at a much higher level and this allows children to fight off disease without the use of excessive pharmaceutical drugs. Dr. Gottlieb’s children have had chiropractic care since birth and live a vibrant, healthy, drug-free childhood.

Specialization in Pain Management due to Auto Accidents and Trauma

The medical profession has long known that trauma can cause significant misalignment of the spinal column, called subluxations. If a chiropractor does not correct this condition following significant trauma, it can lead to Degenerative Disc Disease. This condition can be debilitating as it affects your central nervous system. Chiropractic has long been the care of choice for trauma.  Most people do not, however, realize that almost three-fourths of injuries are from repetitive stress to the body (such as working at a computer for long hours, repetitive lifting, bending, twisting, standing or sitting for extended periods without a break). These types of trauma also cause significant structural problems and major health concerns. It is imperative that all people who suffer acute or chronic injuries see a chiropractor for a chiropractic adjustment.
