Chiropractic Care Q & A
What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care is a form of complementary medicine that uses precise, hands-on manipulations from a chiropractor. These manipulations help realign your joints and spine and result in properly functioning muscle tissue and neurological pathways.
Chiropractic treatment can alleviate pain and irritation from conditions affecting your bones, cartilage, connective tissue, joints, and muscles.
Specialized pediatric care ensures children have a properly functioning nervous system and aligned spine to allow for healthy development.

- Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD)
- Whiplash
- Disc or work injuries
- Sciatica

How does chiropractic care treat an issue?
Family Wellness at Teravista uses the Gonstead technique to accurately diagnose your concerns.
Case management (symptomatology)
Your chiropractor discusses your medical history and current symptoms to help determine the cause of your issue and how to balance your autonomic nervous system.
Visualization
Your chiropractor notes observations like differences in height between your ears, shoulders, and hips, as well as posture and gait.
X-rays
Full spine X-rays provide an accurate, holistic view of your body.
Palpation
Your chiropractor uses their hands and knowledge of anatomy to feel what’s happening in your spine and its supporting structures. As they palpate your spine, they feel for subluxations (misalignments) in your vertebrae.
Instrumentation
Your chiropractor uses a dual probe instrument (Nervo-Scope® or Delta-T™) to get a bilateral temperature comparison of your spine and locate areas of inflammation.
What treatments does chiropractic care include?
Your treatment plan may include:
- Spinal adjustments
- Shockwave therapy
- Traction therapy
- Massage therapy
- Exercises and stretches
- Heath and wellness guidance
- Infrared sauna to improve pain and circulation
During an adjustment, your chiropractor uses their hands to apply a controlled, sudden force to a joint. Traction therapy is where they gently pull apart the vertebrae of your damaged disc.
Innovative shockwave therapy delivers a series of high-energy percussion to the treatment area, helping alleviate pain and improving mobility.
You may experience immediate relief, and depending on your needs, you may need to return for several therapies or adjustments over the coming weeks.
