Chiropractic Adjustments in Capac, MI

What an adjustment actually does

When a joint in your spine or an extremity stops moving the way it should, the muscles around it tighten up to guard it and the nerves nearby get irritated. A chiropractic adjustment restores that motion with a specific, controlled input, so the joint moves, the muscles let go, and the nerve settles down.

Dr. Todd has adjusted patients in Capac since 1998, from newborns to folks past their hundredth birthday. He picks the technique that fits your body, your age, and your comfort level, not a one-size routine.

Hands-on adjusting

Specific, comfortable manual adjusting of the spine and the extremities, using techniques he is trained and certified in:

• Thompson. A drop-table that does the work with a gentle segment drop instead of a hard push.
• Palmer and Diversified. The classic hands-on methods for a precise, effective adjustment.
• Cox flexion-distraction. A gentle, rhythmic technique that is easy on discs and older backs.

Computer-assisted instrument adjusting

If you would rather skip the twisting and popping entirely, or your case calls for a lighter touch, Dr. Todd uses computer-assisted instrument adjusting of the spine and extremities:

• Sigma Ultralign. Reads how the joint is moving and delivers a precise, low-force adjustment.
• ProAdjuster. Gentle, repeatable instrument adjusting, a good fit for anyone nervous about being "cracked."

Not just the spine

Shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and feet are joints too, and they respond to adjusting the same way the spine does. If a joint out in an extremity is stuck or painful, it is worth an exam.
