Chiropractic Care & Spinal Adjustments

​

Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulation, are a cornerstone of chiropractic care for treating back pain, neck pain, and a wide range of other health issues. By realigning the spine, chiropractic adjustments relieve pressure on joints, improve nerve function, and reduce inflammation, which are key steps in restoring your body’s natural balance and mobility. Dr. Dahmer and the team at AMS/Family Chiropractic Health Center specialize in comprehensive spinal care, helping patients of all ages—from children to older adults—experience lasting relief and improved quality of life.

How Chiropractic Adjustments Work

​

There are over 100 types of chiropractic techniques used worldwide, each designed to restore or enhance joint function by reducing pain and addressing inflammation. Whether it’s gentle, low-force techniques or traditional adjustments, each method is tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. When vertebrae move out of alignment, it creates disruptions across the entire nervous system, impacting everything from immune response to mental clarity. By correcting these misalignments, chiropractic adjustments help the body function at its best, allowing muscles to relax, nerves to communicate freely, and organs to perform optimally.

Conditions Chiropractic Care Can Address

​

Chiropractic care extends beyond just treating back and neck pain. By working on different levels of the spine, chiropractors can also address a variety of health concerns, including headaches, vertigo, ADHD, allergies, and even menstrual pain. For example, adjustments to the upper spine, particularly the Atlas vertebra, can relieve chronic headaches and migraines, reduce allergy symptoms, and improve balance. Lower spine adjustments can alleviate sciatica, leg pain, and issues related to posture. Chiropractic care is highly individualized, allowing the treatment to be adapted to address a wide range of conditions and support full-body wellness.

Chiropractic Care for Injury Recovery

​

Car accident injuries, sports injuries, and workplace accidents often result in long-term pain that can go unaddressed by traditional medical care. Chiropractic adjustments are particularly effective for conditions like whiplash, herniated discs, and joint misalignments caused by sudden impacts. Even minor collisions, like a low-speed rear-end accident, can lead to significant misalignments that cause chronic pain, reduced mobility, and other symptoms. Chiropractic care provides a safe, drug-free path to recovery by targeting the underlying issues rather than masking the symptoms with medication. With a full chiropractic exam, Dr. Dahmer can assess the extent of your injuries and develop a customized treatment plan to alleviate pain and promote healing.

A Holistic Approach to Long-Term Health

​

Chiropractic care is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and at AMS/Family Chiropractic Health Center, every patient receives a treatment plan designed for their unique needs. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, we look at the whole body, identifying the root cause of discomfort to provide lasting relief. Whether it’s a spinal misalignment, muscle strain, or chronic pain from years of wear and tear, chiropractic care provides a pathway to natural healing and long-term wellness. We believe that a well-aligned spine is foundational to overall health, and by promoting balance in the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, chiropractic care allows the body to heal and thrive naturally.
