Chiropractic Care
Subluxations are when one or more of the vertebra or bones of the spine become displaced. That shift puts pressure on the nerve, decreasing that nerve flow, going to every single part of your body which will in turn over time cause a decrease in function. Symptoms can eventually develop. While we want to see your symptoms improve, we focus on the cause of the symptoms and help you to achieve health and wellness.
Benefits of Chiropractic
There are numerous benefits associated with safe and natural chiropractic care. It improves the function of your entire body and boosts your immune system. Since he’s been under regular care for nearly 50 years, Dr. Bob hasn’t taken a pill or shot. “My commitment to my patients is to create the same thing in your body, by improving your immune system and your body’s functioning capabilities so they can do what they were designed to do: heal, correct, repair and keep normal function going.”
The New Patient Journey
When you initially begin care at Westheimer Chiropractic, we customize your care and frequency of your visits depending on the severity of your condition. We put you on a program of care to get to the root cause of your problem. During your initial phase of care, we will re-evaluate you periodically to assess the progress and modify your treatment plan as necessary.
Dr. Bob will provide you with some exercises, stretches and additional recommendations to maximize your results that you can do at home as well as the office.
Diversified Technique
The goal of the Diversified Technique is to reduce nerve interference. There are no special or unique procedures needed. Patients are assessed using these various mechanisms: history and basic examination (orthopedic and neurologic), palpation, x-ray, leg checks and reflex procedures as well as others.
The procedure involves analyzing the full spine and extremities. The majority of adjustments used in Diversified are manual adjustments, HVLA (high velocity, low amplitude), or long lever manipulations aimed at cavitating the joint and creating an audible release. This sound is known by patients as the “popping” or “cracking” sound associated with adjustments. Some chiropractors utilize specialized equipment such as drop tables or pelvic blocks.
