Chiropractic Relief Care

The primary method of treatment is the chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation. It is used to restore normal joint motion, enhance circulation, relax tense or strained muscles and reduce nerve pressure.

Dr. Newman also utilizes flexion-distraction, a combination of traction and manipulation that is effective at reducing the pressure within the discs, decreasing nerve irritation and restoring healthy spinal movement. He emphasizes self-care strategies and exercises are often prescribed as a part of a treatment plan. Often people assume that chiropractic treatment is merely "back cracking."It is more than that. Hands treatment often includes massage , muscle stretching and physiotherapies such as ultrasound, heat application and electrical stimulation.

Dr. Newman also teaches stress management and relaxation techniques to accelerate healing and enhance feelings of well-being.

Postural Rehabilitation / MAINTENANCE Care

Posture is something that almost everyone will admit they need to improve.  Dr. Newman will walk you through not only what needs improvement but also why you will benefit from improved posture..  Maintenance care is chiropractic treatment applied to help one maintain optimal feelings of musculo-skeletal balance and feelings of well being. This care is defined by insurers as being not medically necessary and thus is available at significant time of service discounts. 

Corrective Care

If your spine and Central Nervous System are “abnormal,” there is a need for corrective chiropractic care. This type of care will restore comfortable movement and posture.  This optimizes your chance to live at 100 percent of your body’s peak performance. A healthy spine will allow your body to express a normal body temperature, a normal blood pressure, and other measurable norms for the spine itself.

Corrective care will have an obvious end to both the doctor and patient.  The doctor will see visible results on health tests and x rays while the patient will feel more in tune with their body while looking and feeling better in their day to day life.

Corrective Care is not maintenance care. Maintenance care is a personal choice about optimizing feelings of well being and typically not a covered benefit of many insurance plans.
