Traditional Chiropractic
Restore nerve flow
The goal of chiropractic adjustment is to correct the spinal subluxations detected during the examination and based on the patient’s complaint. I apply gentle pressure to the vertebrae and “unlock” it from its improper position restoring the nerve flow. I am trained in a variety of chiropractic techniques and use what suits each patient best. Achieve Health Maumee offers Traditional Chiropractic services in Maumee, Ohio.

The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “spinal manipulation,” also called “chiropractic adjustment.” The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into the joints of the spine that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of trauma, repetitive motion, sprains, strains, poor postural habits and the aging process. Consequently, the surrounding tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain that can contribute to nerve impingement and diminished function for the sufferer. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues restores mobility, relieve nerve impingement therefore, relieve pain, muscle tightness and allowing tissues to heal.
With Chiropractic adjustments, we first locate and then correct the cause of nerve interference, restoring the communication between the brain and the body. It is safe, effective, feels great, and works for everyone from newborns to the elderly. Choose Achieve Health Maumee and get the Maumee Chiropractic services you need!
Vertebral subluxations (pinched nerves) have three basic causes:
Physical
Physical causes include muscle tension, slips and falls, accidents, repetitive motion, and improper lifting, especially lifting and twisting.
Emotional
Emotional causes can encompass grief, anger, fear and anxiety. These emotions can contribute to muscles tension leading to vertebral subluxations thus creating nerve pressure.
Chemical
Chemical causes can include alcohol, drugs, pollution, and poor diet. Toxins have the ability to upset the body’s delicate chemistry, once again contributing to muscle tension and pulling on the vertebra causing nerve a pinched nerve.
A thorough examination is done on the patient to assess their condition along with a detailed review of history, traumas, and medication list and system dysfunctions.
A Doctor of Chiropractic may assess the patient through clinical examination, laboratory testing and diagnostic x-rays to determine when chiropractic treatment is appropriate or when it is not appropriate. The patient will be readily referred to the appropriate health care provider when chiropractic care is not suitable for the patient’s condition, or the condition warrants co-management in conjunction with other members of the health care team.
