- Chiropractic AdjustmentsChiropractic Adjustments - chiropractic adjustments, especially to the cervical and thoracic spine (neck and upper back), have been shown to increase the immune system for up to 8 hours following and adjustment.
- SubluxationChiropractic treatment is the cornerstone of our practice which includes motion palpation of the spine to help detect subluxations. Subluxations are vertebrae with altered position and movement in the spine leading to structural and neurological changes in the body. Chiropractic adjustments are performed at these impacted areas to correct and restore spinal function, movement, and health. In addition, Dr. Muldavin uses myofascial and active release techniques (trigger point therapy), traction and post-isometric relaxation to augment the effects of the chiropractic adjustment. Physical therapy modalities such as electric muscle stimulation, ultrasound, super pulse laser and the application of ice and/or heat packs, may be utilized if indicated.
- Manipulation TherapyDr. Muldavin also recommends regular Chiropractic adjustments, as research now shows the connection of the brain, immunity and Chiropractic adjustments. A study performed at the University of Madrid Medical School found that with manipulation certain beneficial neuropeptides increased. The specific neurotransmitters are called Cortisol and they found that after 2 hours post-manipulation, an increase was found only in the cervical spine adjusted group when compared with pre-intervention levels. They found the cervical spinal manipulation group showed a significant increase in cortisol plasma concentration immediately post-intervention, compared with base values. This verifies that Chiropractic care has a direct effect on the cortisol immunity connection through the neuroendocrine reaction.
