Chiropractic Care

When you’re searching for a natural, holistic way to relieve pain and live in optimal health, Dr. Lawrence Stern at Awaken Wellness in Mount Kisco, NY, offers chiropractic to ensure you achieve your goals.

Understanding Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is often thought of as a new practice, but the truth is that its principles have been around since the beginning of medicine. This field is one that focuses on restoring alignment and balance to the musculoskeletal system, which provides natural healing and a whole host of benefits. Learn more below in this quick guide from Dr. Stern and the team at Awaken Wellness in Mount Kisco, NY.

What Does a Chiropractor Do?

A chiropractor is a kind of doctor who specializes in the neuro and musculoskeletal systems. They look for areas that are out of alignment or imbalanced and develop a customized plan to treat them naturally. The goal is to remove issues that cause you pain and impede the body’s natural abilities, which allows the body – including the nervous system – to heal and operate properly.

What Types of Techniques Do Chiropractors Use?

Techniques can vary depending on the provider. However, adjustments are a core technique. They involve using either the hands or an instrument to apply a controlled thrust to a misaligned area. This shifts any misplaced bones back into their proper place.

Dr. Stern also offers Network Spinal Analysis or NSA. This technique involves gentle touches in specific areas to help reset or reconnect the brain and nervous system, which is crucial for pain relief, health, and wellness.

Soft tissue techniques, such as massage therapy, are also often used to address tense or damaged muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Assisted stretching may also be added to your treatment to improve alignment and balance, relieve tension and pain, and improve your range of motion.

What Benefits Can I Gain?

When the musculoskeletal system is not properly aligned, it can impact everything about your body. However, the exact symptoms you experience may be different from what another person experiences. Therefore, the benefits gained will vary. However, some common ones include:

  • Relief from chronic neck and back pain
  • Reduced muscle tension
  • Improved posture
  • Fewer headaches and migraines
  • Lower likelihood of injuries
  • Reduced joint pain

In general, you can achieve relief from various types of pain and suffering.
