Many patients want to go to a Chiropractor but are afraid of the manual manipulation. In our office we use an instrument approach approach to patient care. Dr. Murphy will adjust your spine while you are in different positions. It may be standing, sitting, lying down or could be whatever position causes you pain. He uses an Arthrostim instrument to adjust the area indicated.
The Arthrostim ( pictured below) delivers gentle tapping to reduce the stress in the area. A case study published in the 2020 issue of The Journal of Physical Therapy Science documented the improvement of a patient under chiropractic care who had been suffering with severe and chronic dizziness, neck pain and headaches. Dizziness is a common occurrence that can come from many different problems.

We have many different types of procedures to help you with your problem and reduce your pain.
Our Chiropractic adjustments are given with an electric instrument called an Arthrostim.
The Arthrostim delivers high speed, low force rapid thrusts to the area being treated.
This stimulation activates a neurological response in the brain to reduce the stress in the area treated.
Patients like this type of spinal adjustment because it doesn't hurt and there is no force used.

Explained

In simplest terms, a subluxation a.k.a.
Vertebral Subluxation) is when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves.
Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine.
This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves.
How does this affect you?
Your nervous system controls and coordinates all the functions of your body.

This is a representation of one type of subluxation.
A subluxation, as defined by the Association of Chiropractic Colleges is: "A subluxation is a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health."
When a subluxation occurs it causes nerve interference in some portion of the body affected by those nerves.
The subluxation causes changes to the structure as well as the nerves.
These changes get progressively worse as time is allowed to work on the subluxated area of the spine.
